Seeing how much the author flashes the AWS acronym, surely he knows how fundamental ML, statistics, and optimization are to Amazon's core business model.

Ya seriously - while I too am skeptical about ML-as-a-service, if Corey genuinely thinks that ML has no business value I have a rabid pack of Applied Scientists from Amazon Ads & Search that I'd like to set on him
How much peer-reviewed research has anyone from Amazon published showing that their ML has made a difference in their sales, profitability, or other meaningful business measures? Based on my recent experiences trying to buy anything, more and more they seem to be leaning towards adopting all kinds of dark patterns and old-fashioned sales gimmicks.
