You don't get that much "security", though. You're still responsible for actually securing all your applications and infrastructure components.
Also, this is a question of scale, just like with any make or buy decision. AWS isn't magic, it's just servers. For a small company, it makes sense to buy servers as a service, but at a certain scale, it stops making sense. This is no different from buying screws versus making your own screws.
