Last I checked, Amazon has also not patched their Lightsail blueprints for WordPress, or even communicated about the vulnerability with those customers at all, which is arguably way worse, because

(a) by design, all-in-one blueprints aren't really intended to use system PHP or have system PHP updated in a meaningful way; and

(b) hosting static sites such as WordPress is 90% of the selling point of Lightsail as a product

That's pretty awful. I do wonder if they've bitten off more than they can chew with all the ancillary stuff to their core IaaS platform. That seems to be the only well maintained bit of their estate, well EC2/VPC/S3/R53 etc.
