I'm studying for my Associate Architect exam at AWS, and I can't find an explanation for this question. Why Dedicated Host are more expensive than Dedicated Instances? I understand the main differences between the two, it is just that in myit doesn't make sense

This is my perspective: if you ask for a dedicated host, you control the entire hardware. CPUs, RAM, Sockets, etc. You can use your own license (BYOL). But if you ask for a Dedicated Instance, the hardware it is still just for you. Your AWS account is still the only one using that hardware. You have less control over it, but even though you are locking down a single piece of hardware just for your purposes

So, why dedicated hosts are more expensive than dedicated instances, if after all, in either case, you "own" the hardware? Again, in either case, AWS won't be able to use that hardware for something else.
