What do you mean, “Amazon doesn’t really work that way”?

Parent is talking about how C-Suite doesn’t want to trumpet something that implies their entire corporate structure is extremely disadvantaged vs new entrants and your response is “Amazon wants to build everything themselves”?

Amazon isn’t some behaviorally deterministic entity, and it could (and should?) want to both preserve goodwill and build more internally vs pay multiples to acquire.

I guess it could be that people inside are not people they have to compete with, but it doesn’t seem like that’s what you're saying.
