## Quote — verbatim

> Amazon is great. I love Amazon and Google as well. The way the system is set up right now with the centralized model, it's not Amazon's fault or Google's fault per se... with the current market share that's being gained by these three providers, effectively creates a logopoly.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Answering "why isn't AWS good enough?" — his recurring systemic-incentives argument. **Speaker:** attributed to Greg by argument style and later repetition; panel audio is undiarized ("logopoly" is likely a mis-transcription of "oligopoly").
