The increasing trend of large tech conglomerates to use one money printing product like AWS or search or the Apple Store to tactically snipe competitors to destroy or acquire them is absolutely abysmal in the long run

It doesn't matter what you think..The only thing that matters is whether they have the legal authority and can show the consumers are harmed.

Amazon selling their in-house brand based on their private sales data could meet that threshold. Amazon making money on AWS, OTOH, will probably not meet that threshold.

Amazon just needs to release their sales data publicly if they want to use it and hope they can execute on it better.
