Comment:
Amazon has always been an outlier among Big Tech.
Lower margins, but far more aggressive reinvestment, from AWS to custom chips, and now AI agents.
It often looks like it’s doing “too much.” But that may be the point.
Amazon’s strategy is not about maximizing margins today, but about positioning itself across future infrastructure layers.
The question isn’t whether every bet works, but which ones become indispensable.
