> Amazon's technical offerings suck donkey balls and those network effects are why we let them get away with pushing such god awful product.

What are we comparing to here?

Google Cloud? Azure? Linode? Openstack? OVH? Oracle Cloud? Hetzner?

They all suck too, just in different ways.

Individually developed domain-specific products. Even ones that long predate the hyperscaler offerings are often much better... except for billing and security and integration. Not through any fault of the developers, but integrating those things takes work and the ability to reduce that work is a killer advantage of the hyperscalers. But the hyperscalers know this so they invest less in making the core product any good, so it isn't. Reduction in billing/security/integration suck -> increase in technical suck. That's my whole point.
