Amazon can claim it is both centralized and immutable, provided you trust Amazon.

Maybe none? I might be willing to bet that 99% of blockchains in use today could in fact just use AQLD or similar.
And this is what it comes down to: most of us live in a world where trust can, and does, have to root out somewhere. So much of our society is built around this. Blockchains feel sort of alien in this world.
