Another question is what percentage of those is hosted on AWS?

For Eth validators, most of them will be in AWS or similar.

More generally:

PoS will be on AWS or similar.

PoW and PoST will not be on AWS or similar.

Why is that question relevant?

Single point of failure well not single but we've seen AWS disrupted across many regions before.

Relevant I’d say because AWS can ban anyone, any time, for any reason

Because Hetzner has banned cryptocurrency nodes and AWS could do the same.
