    ovh and hertzner are also vastly undercutting amazon in the EU. Amazon is crazy expensive. especially if you consider the far lower labour costs in most of the EU.

  Netflix does exactly that, despite being in direct competition with Prime Video. Of course, they have the advantage of being #1 in streaming TV/video.

  There are lots of tiny shops that offer fairly basic cloud services, usually based on OpenStack. E.g. https://catalystcloud.nz https://catalystcloud.nz Kind of like taking your car to a local shop, vs going to the dealership.
