AWS is indeed not the kind of platform this is about. They enjoy some network effects, but have little control over them. AFAICT they're mostly winning on execution.

Amazon's API mandate is in fact one of the things that inspired me to write the post.

You're right - I've meant they benefit much from the open-source technologies, and forcing them to support/use only open source technology wouldn't harm them much.

Even very rich tech companies struggle to compete with them. Supporting the open source isn't enough. Could you explain how you would "obstructing interoperation"?
