By your metric anything you pay is a % of your revenue, I think you understand what I meant in the context I meant it.

Imagine a scenario where you realize you can double your prices without changing anything else nor losing customer, therefore only changing your revenue by doubling it. Your AWS bill doesn't change. Your Apple store bill doubles. This is factually a tax on revenue.

I did understand you, and wasn't disagreeing. Just offering up a comparison as someone currently doing AWS price projections based on unit costs / CLV and seeing a fairly even margin on AWS resource usage vs revenue-per-resource. Cost plus and all that.

It struck me at the time, that the granular billing allows AWS to function less like a product seller and more like a tax.

A weak comparison granted.
