That is what I had read or heard at some point. The majority of their business was in the holiday season, and needed several multiples of servers to handle it. So in say May, 80% of the machines were sitting basically idle. So why not rent them out.

Unfortunately I appear to have been mislead by a myth: https://www.networkworld.com/article/2891297/the-myth-about-...

So, thanks for calling that out. Would have gone on believing it otherwise.
