We all say “Microsoft” “Google” “Amazon” as though each is a single monolithic entity with a consistency of culture, mission, and behavior. And yet I bet the company you work does things in marketing which don’t reflect how engineering thinks.

Your observations imply a root cause. But public information about Amazon’s corporate structure shows that AWS is almost a separate company from the website. Same is true for Google’s search vs YouTube or Apple hardware design vs their iMessages group.
