It wouldn't be more open even if they didn't spin their own hardware. You won't ever see it nor have access to it on a low level - it's 'the cloud'. The only thing it tells us is that they have reached a scale where custom hardware makes things cheaper, more reliable and more manageable for them.

However, my text states that the alternative is de-coupling: One company develops and markets the innovative hardware solution, other companies build services on top of that solution. This would be more open, it would present a more liquid market.
