a couple of points about aws:
1. it's not really a software business. their marginal cost of products sold is nowhere near that of software. the software they develop facilitiates the sales/leasing of hardware and networks.
2. it's a division of a much larger parent company that poured billions into it. it's a "business" but not a company, which is what they're comparing it against.
