I'm sorry, you lost me, I give up. > when there would be no real penalty for doing this, Huh? Amazon: Amazon Prime + Amazon AWS (developers pay to host Alexa skills) + Amazon Music Google: Google Play Apple: Home Kit licensing + iTunes + App Store + Apple Music Unlimited + Stock price How would losing even a tiny fraction of those be "no real penalty"... just 10% of Amazon Prime subscribers is $100 - $200 million per year. I am not saying companies don't take risk. You have to if you want to make a profit. No company ever has made a profit without either taking a lot of risk or being insanely lucky. With the risk takers being far more common. I'm saying do the math. Amazon Prime is a multi billion dollar business. You'd have to be an idiot to take that risk. Smart companies make money by taking the right risks not all risks. This is a bad risk. It'd be as if Bezos decided suddenly to turn an AWS availability zone into a Bitcoin Mining facility. I'm done. You win.
