True, that's the other thing. Even if it's true that brain drain directly caused/exacerbated this event, big companies have a lot of momentum. Money can paper over a terrifying range and magnitude of folly. Amazon won't die quickly.

Not the end, and possibly not even the beginning of the end. But the start of what is likely to be a long and persistent slide.
