Why can't my old laptop be an AWS replacement?

I have two old macbook pros with 8vcpu's and 16 GB of ram each. A comparable computer on AWS would be approximately $100 a month. Why isn't there an easy way to utilize my unused hardware for my production servers (if not for mission-critical stuff, perhaps just for background jobs)? Any counter / pro arguments are welcome.
