We currently have cloud vendors that offer end-to-end solutions from the developer experience down to the hardware: What if cloud vendors focus on the lowest layer, and other (pure software) vendors on the layer above? Margins aren't so bad and vendor lock-in is still pretty high. Maybe owning the lowest layer isn't so bad?
