I imagine there are not many video companies running on AWS.

It's really only Amazon themselves that can afford to do so.

Netflix is one of AWS largest customers.

True, but I'd say there's zero relationship between the AWS price list and what Netflix pays.

So Netflix doesn't really count as an example of how AWS is a practical option for video hosting.

Because Netflix doesn’t do video hosting on AWS. “Running” on AWS isn’t necessarily hosting on AWS.
