> I mean, if you are building it yourself but on top of their cloud, why does it matter to them?

It matters when they see a profitable business opportunity in optimizing the bundled costs of the service offerings. And who can say "clearly" what the real margins are, especially at scale? All we know for sure is whatever those are, they are good enough for them to continue to offer these managed services.

Which, depending on your business, may not be good enough if not coupled with a compelling price point that beats doing it in house or with another vendor.

Agreed, the article a stupid take. AWS must be able to differentiate their services, otherwise, what reason would one have to buy vs. build yourself?
