A closer analogy would be “Spotify/Pandora cannot stream new albums for a period of X months” since AWS has the option to develop the missing features, and will if they’re requested by enough customers (AWS is extremely pragmatic when it comes to product roadmap). So, to strain the music analogy further: if you’re happy with the back catalog and you can wait a little bit to listen to the latest songs (say, while others test if they’re any good) then you don’t have to put up with the unreliable streaming service. IIRC this strategy was tested by Jay-Z with little success. Taylor Swift also came back to Spotify...
