AWS is not that dominant. Azure is half its size and GCP is a serious competitor. Not only that, there are plenty of companies you can go to if you don’t want managed services and just want VPSs.
Besides that, Amazon itself admits that only 5% of Enterprise workloads are on any cloud platform.
Any company - or heck most tech nerds - can build our infrastructure to suit their needs without going to managed services. Whether they should is based on their business model.
Before anyone tries to “educate me” about what AWS offers, I know the ins and outs of AWS.
