Why is the smallest instance type a t3a.small!?

This AMI does not support the smaller instance types that a large amount of people use. I know Rocky Linux 8 technically supports it because they are available in the Community AMI section but the Marketplace is the only place I really trust to deploy AMI's from using official AMI's from Rocky Linux themselves. This is a big disappointment and we are meeting as a company about this now and whether we want to adopt Rocky Linux or Alma/Amazon Linux instead.

This AMI only supports a t3a.small at $0.019/hr which is 3-4x the price of the smallest instance types that CentOS 8, RHEL 8, Alma and others support. Rocky Linux team please get this addressed or reply with the reasoning
