It's weird that AWS is just absurdly profitable, then, isn't it?

(You're wrong, there are many such scenarios)

It's absurdly profitable precisely because it resells things way above their real price.

People use AWS for the same reason they rent houses: less investment required and you can change things more quickly.

Yes, exactly. And it's very often the case that these capabilities are more valuable to users than "real price" as you mean. You... understand this, right? That value is measured contextually, not objectively?
