Do people even understand what "free market" means? A free market is one with low or no barriers to entry for suppliers and perfect information available to consumers such that they can always make the optimal choice. How can anyone, especially on this site, think the cloud market is anywhere close to being free?

I think people are confused thinking free market means no regulation. No regulation leads to monopoly which is the furthest from a free market you can possibly get. People who seriously advocate for such things are ignorant fools. There are countless examples of how markets fail and that's why every major economy in the world has a government.
