Your personal theory is very correct.

It's very funny to hear you say that. Full article assumption based on the assumptions of the authors. The truth is much easier and more interesting. Amazon launches minimum viable products, doing as little as possible engineering and then iterates on those for the production of the product. The cheapest way to test the idea of a glacier was add waiting to S3. So Amazon did that.

Seismic shift inside Amazon. S-team now emphasizing making money on the previous "strategic" projects. Dismissing directors and restructuring projects currently scored unprofitable. Project I was worked on is reevaluated to maybe not launch. Other project worked on replaced management team and using new engineering teams from Bangalore and Chennai.

Figures would look even worse but selling Korean unit exception padded result.

I worked in AWS. OP flatters AWS arguing that they take care to make money and assuming that they are developing advanced technologies. That't not working as Amazon. Glacier is S3, with the added code to S3 that waits. That is all that needed to do. Second or third iteration could be something else. But this is what the glacier is now.
