Another consideration is that FB would have to reorient their culture to sell to and service the enterprise customer. You could argue that Google is having that very problem with their cloud offering. Despite having superior engineering and product, it’s just not in their DNA to cater to the enterprise in the same way it is for Amazon and Microsoft. FB might have considered cloud a few years ago, but I think they wisely stayed out to focus on their core offerings. |

As an enterprise customer of all three, I will tell you that both Google and Microsoft have terrible UI, terrible permissions sets and terrible documentation. Microsoft has terrible policies and support but their interface still edged out Google. Google constantly shutting off APIs and forcing people to refactor isn't doing them any favors either.
IAM and the documentation are AWS' secret sauce. It's the thing that wins over those internal champions/coaches that an enterprise sales organization needs at their prospect companies to close large scale deals. In an environment where I have to manage security, compliance and administration on top of just using the thing, it makes my job 1000x easier.
