>Companies that currently aren’t thriving love to blame AWS for their problems. But I don’t think the criticism sticks.

Bold claim and the main point of the blog post but you never expand on why.

From the outside and to many people I speak with, it looks like Amazon just grabs popular open source packages with permissive licenses and then starts selling it.

I hope more open source projects add in clauses that protect themselves from these monstrous corporations.
