Please qualify 'bullied,' but if I take your meaning, nope. And I interact with AWS EC2 a lot.
From experience in DevOps handling very large inventories of persistent and ephemeral servers... I would not say AWS has ever taken an action or made an impression that they want us to not _utilize_ the resources we are paying for. In my support and technical exchanges with them I've found that they are keen to help us minimize our costs, but these were positive discussions and not at all what I would characterize as bullying.
In point of fact there are servers that I, as a systems administrator, would very much like to murder; my own attitude toward certain objects in my server inventory is much more openly hostile than that of AWS, and even I seem to have difficulty getting rid of them for good. So, anecdotally, there's that too.
