I am pretty sure this is not meant for an average consumer but for pharma companies and other life sciences based companies.

Also academic research, but yes.

These workflow orchestration tools are ubiquitous in the bioinformatics space. A lot mores than things like Airflow and the like.

I wonder how many of them would give that data to Amazon either. Thats some of the most valuable data a pharma company has

Amazon doesn't make websites, it gives you the tools to make one. Similarly, I don't think it would want to compete with pharma companies who have equally deep pockets and far more experience than Amazon would.

Use of Big Cloud is very common in this space, in particular AWS.
