> Plus, I'd guess that AWS is probably making sweet margins off those Graviton instances. Let's say that their margin on Intel instances is X and that margin on Graviton is 2X.

I’d guess like everything they do, they’re taking a bath on margin in the short term to solidify a monopoly in the long term. Amazon made basically $0 for over a decade. Investors were fine with that because everyone knew they were building a monopoly to later be exploited.

AWS is not a monopoly in any sense

I don't know personally how it works, but some stuff only works on AWS, so it can have monopoly status in some server instances, but not all. They were a monopoly for years, but no longer are at least for general cloud computing.

Sure but they are part of a market that is pretty quickly reaching oligopoly status
