Freedom to control what your group works on versus resources (high quality staff, compute, etc.) to effectively pursue that work are very different things.

For an influential principle or senior principle who is in high demand, none of these are problems.

Fair enough. My experience didn't take me to AWS, but in retail it was a problem for entire tier 1 services to get resources with VP support, let alone new development/research initiatives.

Perhaps Amazon has changed, or AWS is simply different/better in this regard.
