Azure has an edge over AWS at big companies, Goldman Sachs survey says

When Amazon started expanding in retail beyond books, they signed supplier agreements to source inventory, the same way department stores have for decades.

Then Amazon used the retail sales information they gathered from these relationships to structure their Marketplace and Fulfilled by Amazon products, breaking the exclusivity clauses in their existing supplier agreements. Amazon lost lawsuits over this.

Kinda hard to call it a conspiracy theory when Amazon is upfront and out loud about their intention to use customer data to enter new markets whenever they see fit.

Those are different things.

A thuggish business, I can see doing the above.

But Amazon hacking logs of customer data to get a leg up in some category, no way. That's a different ballgame.

Every retail org would have to immediately leave AWS hands down.
