From the comments as of writing, few read between the lines of this sloppy reporting: it's to standardize cloud-desktop apps for Amazon's internal use.

Meta, for example, consolidated to Workplace + Google, away from Dropbox, Microsoft, Apple, and others. They use AWS and Azure for some 50k desktops on demand and a few servers, but it mostly deploys to its own metal because it's way, way cheaper than AWS in most use-cases.

I don't see anyone confused about this in the comments and am struggling to see how else it could be interpreted.
