I have the same feelings. I'm really fine with Amazon -- but I'd be much more fine by seeing them reduced via antitrust actions, with the goal of seeing more competition.
First, I'd like to separate AWS from Amazon the Bazaar. It's just too much control over _both_ the Internet (including all other e-commerce) and retail merchandise commerce.
It's like they own the railroads, the ports, the trucks, and the stores -- we've seen the Robber Baron movie already.
I understand if we hoped antitrust action on Kindle (since they fought dirty and illegal against Barnes and Noble.)
But both AMZN "bazaar" and AWS are novel concepts invented by AMZN, and they have worked really hard to make them reality on such unbelievable scales.
Nobody thought of AWS for decades, until AMZN faced the systems problem and came up with cloud computing via AWS.
I understand taking action on AMZN acquisitions since they are reducing competition illegally. But AWS is an absolutely novel idea by them, and in my opinion, we have no right to take any action there. Also there is a LOT of competition in cloud computing by AZURE and GCP
