Instances are re-created programmatically. Much of the OS is becoming bloat that does not support the application. Unless you're doing the datacenter for Amazon, your statement doesn't quite fit.

It's more like saying "I don't care about growing and butchering my own cow because I shop at a grocery store." There are folks who raise cows, I'm not one of them. I still eat hamburgers, though.
