Well, AWS actually is highly profitable and changed the game so most of the recent startups could actually be built. I wouldn't associate WeWork with it. I won't even associate Tesla with WeWork. At least if you give $10B to Musk, you get rocket ships and category-leading car companies out of it.

AWS is only highly profitable for an investor if you cut it loose from Amazon retail so it's not subsidizing it (spin it out) and other Amazon endeavors that aren't profitable. Otherwise, it's only of benefit to Amazon proper.
