I think it's fine to be honest.
Over time competition between the 3 major clouds combined with hardware getting cheaper will mean there is not going to be a massive jump in prices, if any at all.
It is not impossible to design relatively cloud-portable server software.
Also I think FedEx, and companies in general, would prefer to increase revenue rather than reduce costs (by running their own data center) in order to increase their net profit.
