Do you have the same reaction to Apple buying processors from Samsung or Intel? Google buying operating systems from Microsoft or Apple? In each of those situations they&#x27;ve decided that level of risk is outweighed by the cost of trying to do everything in-house. Data centers are an expensive business to be in and Amazon can amortize their costs over a much larger base than Netflix.<p>The thing to remember is that businesses routinely do this kind of thing and rely on contracts and markets to manage their risks. Even assuming that they don&#x27;t have guarantees in the agreement giving Netflix those famously low rates, if Amazon chose sabotage they&#x27;d be endangering their much larger cloud business and that would hurt them for much longer than the time it would take Netflix to migrate to Google, Azure, etc. Even if you&#x27;re completely unethical and a ruthless competitor, it&#x27;s hard to argue that Amazon wouldn&#x27;t benefit far more from making Prime Video a more interesting product, which conveniently also has no potential downsides.
