Yeah, AWS needs to be split out. But, alas, amazon can't afford to do that because those profits are funding the rest of the company. They are extremely vulnerable as a company here and is a strategic opportunity for other cloud vendors. Just push down cloud margins and Amazon will slowly be out priced.

Without having some kind of control over prices, you are not a very viable business. Amazon is in a very fragile position.

Honestly, I have no idea why government is getting involved here. Let the market eat them.
