EDIT: I misread the parent; it refers to retailers not using tools like Zoom because they run on AWS. Original comment: You mean like this part of the article? If you deliver a product on top of a third party cloud platform, that cloud can see all the telemetry data. Such access becomes problematic when that same cloud platform offers a competing product, which is why no big retailer would ever run their e-commerce operation on AWS.

The parent is referring to a second order issue. Your quote talks about how competing companies don't want to use AWS for their own products because it would reveal traffic numbers and telemetry and Amazon could potentially later release a competing product. Parent is talking about how zoom's customers won't want to use zoom because they don't trust their corporate communications to be trunked over amazon.

  I reread the comment and you are absolutely correct. I've added an edit.
