Am I missing something? This doesn't sound like an attack at all. I'm interpreting it as just "don't host ffmpeg yourself and try to write distributed encoding workloads etc., just use our hosted solution instead which handles this stuff for you." I don't get how this is an attack - plenty of businesses are built this way.

Yes I thought the same, it was a weird reaction to a post about cloud environments that was not criticizing or attacking ffmpeg in any way. It seems somebody got rubbed the wrong way by it.
