One of the quotes seems to imply Amazon should not let oil and gas companies use their cloud services. Having these companies use less efficient alternatives would seem to be a net loss for society. I don’t think there is a positive upside because the change in cost would not be large enough to change output.

Maybe, if you only measure gain/loss for society in terms of money.

But if you care about leaving a habitable planet for the next generation, having oil and gas companies become pariahs that are expensive, so that people switch to carbon-friendly alternatives, would be a net gain for society.
