You have to give full credit to AWS for inventing previously unknown pricing models. In some cases, it was actually the pricing model that created new use cases. Glacier and S3 comes to mind.

That's a very important observation. When I describe AWS to audiences I always make clear that it is a combination of a technology and a business model.
