Plus you have to provide most, or maybe all, of the support for software. Not just making compilers and related dev tools, but also building and testing of pre-compiled binaries for popular OSS.
That's fine for a few major pieces of OSS, and for internal, cloud-only software (Redshift, BigQuery), but I don't think that concept scales well, or is particularly quick to adapt to market shifts.
