there's a $1 widget and a slightly better $10 widget. if you're only buying 1 widget, you're correct that the price difference doesn't matter a whole lot. but if you're buying 10 widgets, the total cost of $10 vs $100 starts to matter a bit more. say you run a factory that makes and sells whatchamacallits, and each whatchamacallit contains 3 widgets as sub-components. that line item on your bill of materials can either be $3, or $30. that's not an insignificant difference at all. for one-off personal usage, as a toy or a hobby - "slightly better for 10x the price" isn't a huge deal, as you say. for business usage it's a complete non-starter. if there was a cloud provider that was slightly better than AWS, for 10x the price, would you use it? would you build a company on top of it? |
