At Netflix scale they are not replaceable by other vendors because other vendors do not have enough capacity to accommodate Netflix migration.

Can you provide information as to how much capacity Netflix would need to migrate? Otherwise, this comment has no basis in reality.

there are estimates that netflix is consuming about 20% of AWS. AWS does not publish a list of DCs but from regions and AZs you can put a lower bound estimate at 40 so it would be anywhere from 8 DCs to whatever the upper bound is (I guesstimated 20)
