I don't understand the anti-trust argument against Amazon Retail and AWS. Amazon Retail went vertical by building their own cloud solution and then sold that solution to customers - what's anti-trust about this?

The folks who don't have a subsidized cloud solution have to eat some of their margin paying for services like AWS, which Amazon Retail gets effectively for free/others pay for.

I still don’t get why it’s a problem. There should be an advantage in taking the investment needed required to go vertical and leverage that for your entire business.
