>AWS offers Graviton instances in a bare-metal way too, so you can see for yourself what the SoC offers.
Oh, we should be so grateful...
Or perhaps be happy with what we got and not sacrifice everything for some very short term 5% benefits?

Take one guess.
Nothing becomes any more closed if you switch the ISA of the CPU used in your VPS to aarch64. The only closed ecosystem here is AWS itself, but what takes power away from you is using non-EC2 services like DynamoDB.
In fact the Arm ecosystem is way more open, because there are SoCs that can run completely blob-free firmware (e.g. from Marvell), which is just not happening with any modern Intel/AMD system.
A firmware-blob is nothing in comparison for the vast majority of cases.
