A thing that was legal when it happened.

I mean that's really the crux of my argument. Nothing illegal happened unless AWS violated their TOS/contract. The idea that someone HAS to do business in perpetuity with you or else you'll be ruined is...bizarre? It's the whole reason contracts exist in the first place.

If you don't like the laws, you get the laws changed. There are all sorts of legal, but icky things that exist in the world (bakers being allowed to discriminate based on sexual identity, jobs being allowed to fire you for political affiliation, etc)
