Amazon is worse than this, though the AWS bait and switch is that you are supposed to save over the alternatives. So it should be worth switching if you would save more than the dev time you would invest in doing so right? But your company isn't going to do that. Because of opportunity cost. Your company expects to get some multiple of a the cost of dev time back, that they invest in their own business. And because of various uncertainties - in return, in the time taken to develop, in competition, etc - they will only invest dev time when that multiple is not small. I'm not a business manager, but I'd guess a factor of 5.

But that means that if you were conned into using infrastructure that actually costs more than the alternative, making your cost structure worse, you're still going to eat the loss because it's not worth taking your devs time to switch back.

But tokens don't quite have this problem -yet. Most of us can still do development the old way, and it's not a project to turn it off. Expect this to change though.
