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.

The point is that these companies (more specifically: their operations related to fossil fuel extraction) are already, intrinsically, a net loss to society.

As such should they be shut down. It doesn't matter whose cloud their operations are running on.
