My reading of GP's comment is that the empathy should be directed towards AWS' team, the people who are building the system and handling the fallout, not AWS the corporate entity.

I may be wrong, but I try to apply the https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_charity




The very first line of the comment is:

> Complex systems are really really hard. I'm not a big fan of seeing all these folks bash AWS for this,

The rest is support for the organization and the complexity of their product offering.

The only line that is about supporting or empathy for the staff is the last sentence:

> Hugs to the AWS team, and good learnings for everyone.

I don't think I'm out of line or stretching here.
