Yeah reading that comment felt like the twilight zone. Microsoft is foremost a software company and they host everything on Azure. Amazon's software services offering is a speck of dust in comparison. Amazon cannot dogfood AWS more than Microsoft dogfoods Azure.

Well, to take it full circle, they don't dogfood LinkedIn on Azure. How about GitHub for that matter? Wouldn't that indicate Amazon can dogfood more?
I think those are different because they are acquisitions.

It doesn’t mean they will never use Azure, just that they’re being rational about what to use.

It would be very different if they designed GitHub today and didn’t use Azure.

Add to that, future product offerings determined by real world use cases based on the reasons why they don't or can't do it today.
