This strategy is doubling down on the real reason that 3 is killing them: price. Their pricing structure in fundamentally incompatible with cloud native workloads. We treat workloads like cattle scaling them quickly and on demand to OS counts never dreamed of decades ago.

...And when you graze your Cattle on someone else's fields, you pay through the nose for it! Best damn business innovation ever, renting people shovels to dig themselves a hole with!
