For the record, Amazon's Builder Tools org (or ASBX or whatever) built a replacement system years ago, because this absolutely doesn't work for a lot of projects and is unsustainable. They have been struggling for years to figure out how to move people off it.

Speaking at an even higher level, their system has been a blocker to innovation, and introduces unique challenges to solving software supply chain issues

Not saying there aren't good things about the system (I like cascading builds, reproducibility, buffering from 3p volatility) but I wouldn't hype this up too much.
