Heroku is really great, but at the same time it also deployed on AWS. So it's essentially moving to a "wrapper" around AWS and it has a price. I agree with almost everything but companies, in the long run, should definitely think about the coming migration. Stay long enough with Heroku and on a certain level, you're going to find yourself paying 2,3 times what you'd pay for doing it on your own.
Yes, doing things on your own takes time and effort and these are resources with a price tag so everyone should do their own due diligence.
Other than that, great post and the most important point in my view is "Developer Ability to Focus". Enabling that means everything.
AWS does offer some services like Beanstalk that helps you set up and get most of the things you described like deployments, autoscaling monitoring, logging, etc. It can take a company pretty far with relatively low effort. Food for thought.
