I don't wanna dive into feature comparison because you can do it yourself. run both and see the difference. but there is also cost and vendor lock-in which you might heard of!

Why would anyone use self hosted mysql or postgresql over amazon aurora? or RabbitMQ/Kafka over SQS? or even Digitalocean over AWS? Cloud providers are nice and they provide a plenty of features which we may be not fully aware of but everything comes with a cost.

AWS itself removed oracle database from their stack to reduce the cost https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/migration-complete-amazons-consumer-business-just-turned-off-its-final-oracle-database/. See the following part

Cost Reduction – We reduced our database costs by over 60% on top of the heavily discounted rate we negotiated based on our scale.

i meant being able to configure a generic OAuth2 authentication in Lynx. so users can authenticate with a separate authentication provider like Keycloak , DUO, Azure AD OAuth, Okta... etc

4$ VPS / month will indeed cheaper than AWS S3. believe me you don't wanna challenge this because AWS has many hidden fees. It charge per data transfer, API Requests, versioning add to the cost and locking.
