So the interesting thing, back then I think we were willing because of the nascent state of cloud services. We hadn't fully bought into any of this because most were still just buying hardware or renting servers and building their own software. S3 and EC2 were pretty pivotal in the move to this lock-in from a pure infrastructure perspective. Luckily s3 equivalent apis exist on every cloud provider now, its a staple cloud service but I think in 2021 as more things appear, they should be open source first. The open source companies start with that, I think cloud companies should actually open source the tech too.
