- bigyikes 5y agoFor the examples I listed, the fact that they’re serviced by Amazon is an implementation detail. People are not buying it to communicate with Amazon, they are buying it to get something done. Many would probably be just as happy “to communicate with Google” instead. The point I’m trying to make is that Amazon is not the motivating factor.
