What you say makes sense and I think it is an unintentional limitation
in the current code.
Some additional context here: the "securityGroups" option [1]
originally (and perhaps still - sorry, can't check the code now :-()
refers to "old style" security groups, which *were* incompatible with
VPCs for a long time.
The "new style" security groups are specified using the
"securityGroupIds" option instead [2]. If the distinction between the
two types no longer exists, then some code simplification should
certainly be possible!
