Given that even non-Amazon vendors can use Amazon.com search features to discover bestselling products from third-party sellers in various categories, I doubt there's anything contractually prohibiting Amazon from using the same information to drive their own product mix.
Same goes for selling prices. Published retail prices are not trade secrets.

Yea, hasn't worked so far, devs and orgs have been pushing for APIs ages, same with structured data, eg schema.org
The third option is agent to agent communication, mcp, etc.
Throwback to a brief moment when everyone wanted to support IFTTT. If I remember, it ran out of steam because it takes away eyeballs from the actual application (social networks in-particular). The use cases are also rather niche.
> These aren't features of a developer tool. They're infrastructure primitives. Just as we stopped thinking about provisioning individual servers and started thinking about compute, storage, and networking as composable building blocks, software delivery needs the same shift.
They already are. you don't have to use github, or all it's features, git is the protocol, CI/CD are the added on composable blocks. Most platforms offer crypo signature verification, there's also opensource options.
Basicaly wtf are you on about? that's 5mins I'm not getting back.
AWS has also strip mined open-source software, elasticsearch, redis, mongo, browser rendering tools, etc.
