The only difference between wework and amazon is the way they finance their money-losing ventures.
Wework does that via the private market, hence the game is up when it needs access to the public markets.
Amazon does that via AWS. AWS is the money that fuels the eCommerce side. The game will be up when:
1) Kubernetes will move AWS customers back to on-prem, or at least turn clouds into a commodity. Amazon knows that and this is the reason for the push toward lockin (aka lambda / serverless).
