Can you elicit the argument by which this is correctly applied?

Point was just that having the "price on the tin" is irrelevant to whether there's price gouging going on.
But, I guess the argument could be similar to the case against Apple for its iOS App Store: there are lots of competitors, but the lock-in arguably creates a market definition of Apple customers. AWS customers are largely locked-in and at the mercy of AWS prices.
That's the argument. I'm not sure I buy it, but it's one perspective.
