SES can't hit your firewall with bots, it's just an email service.

Maybe you meant EC2? And as I said earlier, if you have correctly setup firewall and servers, port scanning or bots can't hurt you in any way.

Email sending limits are one thing. A couple hundred ssh/rdp/sql bots hitting my firewalls constantly is another.

 From what I'm reading on that AWS doc page, those limits only apply to SES users.

AWS also says they work with ISPs and "Internet anti-SPAM orgs" like
Spamhaus.

That sounds a bit more than "doesn't care about it", no?
