I suspect keeping ambulance at standby was more of a hotfix for a bug, than a feature. Yes Amazon is frugal, but I think it is a bit of a stretch to assume there was malicious intent in not cooling their FCs.

In a giant warehouse managed by a company with > 100k employees, things are not changed that quickly...

They're not malicious, so much as indifferent.

Maliciousness probably costs money, and Amazon's looking to spend as little as possible on these warehouse resources.

Regardless of indifference or malicious, its still breathtakingly inhumane.
