Amazon treats their work staff poorly (at least on the Amazon.com side, if not AWS), and Bezos isn't a very nice human. They throw a lot of their weight around and bully small local governments into succumbing to their conquests. They are a largely unethical company, IMO, and supporting them risks further eroding small business and democratic checks and balances everywhere.

If you strip out the first sentence, and leave the rest... I think you've just ruled out every large corporation, and especially all of the tech megacorps.

Yeah, you're totally right. With cloud (or other) vendors, it's often a "lesser of many evils" kinda thing. Amazon is just particularly and notoriously bad.
