I found this a very good point. You can almost make a point that Amazon should get credit for the entire value created by every business on AWS, even if it's almost certainly technically wrong. If you then add on the money they paid you, it becomes absurd. They paid you the value (to them) of the thing they bought. > The point is, when you purchase a service from Amazon, the future value created by your usage of the service belongs to you, not to Amazon. Even if it seems like Amazon should get some credit, there’s no reasonable way to measure such things, no scheme for attributing “value creation” fairly between the producers of every good and service you may have consumed on your way to running a business. Anyway, Amazon has already been credited for providing those services since they made money off the deal. Every business relying on Amazon contributes to that $21 billion in profit Amazon made.
