That's not an argument. People say the same thing about voting or polution, it adds up. Also, AWS is not a smart part of Amazon, AFAIK most of their profit comes from it. They sell products for cheap, so they can push competitors out to keep growing and then they balance the loss with AWS profits.

It's becoming more and more important, especially in the embedded world, because a lot of hardware vendors are based in China.
