Hmm. Well, somehow these heavy-hitters have presumably done their research and then chose AWS:

I see your characterization of AWS above as "terrible", but I'm curious how that squares with the (probably very well-informed) decisions these people made to use AWS.

I would not "do my research" on the sales site of one of the vendors, if that's what you're suggesting.

The poster is suggesting that the firms listed on Amazon's page did their research before buying, then settled on AWS and felt strongly enough that it was a good choice to make a public recommendation.

Or got enough of a discount/payment to make a public recommendation in return?
