actually, even the CTO of AWS couldn't hijack an abusive VM server because legal did not allow them to, but when the government is asking it I guess that all flies out of the window.

That's why I self host.
It isn't just aws though. You could say exactly the same about digital ocean or linode.
Even if you have your own rack at a colocation, you could argue that if you don't have full disk encryption someone could simply copy your disk.
I am just trying to be practical. If someone is intent on reading what users specifically send me, they can probably find bad hygiene on my part and get it but my concern is they should not be able to do this wholesale at scale for everyone.
