Let me correct the title...

> Amazon wants to train 29m people to work on AWS.

Unsurprising that a company wants to train people on their own product in order to ultimately sell more of it.

The corporate PR-speak is strong in this article. They should have went full job-creator and just say their docs can help all humanity to get the 21st century skills necessary to thrive on the American Dream.

Exactly, is this even journalism? If the author published whatever the Amazon PR rep sends them they should work for Amazon, not a “supposed” objective newspaper. What a fluff piece.

corporate culture is all built on this attitude. Amazon leadership principles are akin to NLP on a corporate mission statement level. they're good, too, if you just take them as simple pieces of advice, but you should also consider the value in doing the exact opposite of a lot of these things in equal measure.
