Each product's value can be judged along many different dimensions. The fact that a product is not the top most used in a category does not mean that it is inferior along all dimensions. For example, many people here on HN would say that they prefer DuckDuckGo over Google because it doesn't track you in the same way. However it's not the number one product in the search engine category. It does, however, win along at least one dimension: privacy. So, if you value that then maybe DDG is for you. The same privacy argument could be made for protonmail, Tor, and Signal.
Just because something isn't AWS doesn't mean that it's useless. I think that's part of the point the OP was making: people keep moving the goal post and because of that, their argument is not falsifiable.
