the main thing here though is the older things you’re moving away from in those cases are still around. AWS didn’t remove classic load balancers and force you onto application load balancers.
"The EC2-Classic platform was introduced in the original release of Amazon EC2. If you created your AWS account after 2013-12-04, it does not support EC2-Classic."

That was 4 years after VPC was launched. So yes, while they do deprecate stuff on the rarest of occasions, they still give you much, much more time than GCP ever did.
Also, EC2-Classic is still available if you reach out to your TAM with a really good reason.
