What a ridiculous comparison of apples and oranges and peaches and pears and plums and bananas. Amazon isn't even remotely in the same business as Red Hat. Microsoft is in the business of providing enterprise operating systems, but that's far from it's only line of business. Using Oracle as an example of how "selling support for open source software" isn't a repeatable business model ignores how Oracle is copying Red Hat's model, and in fact some of Red Hat's source code.
Is it true that Red Hat doesn't have the money to invest in improving RHEL? I don't know (although I suspect it's not true), but the article spends zero time on anything that would demonstrate that.
