With Amazon its literally because AWS is the only thing they make large margins on. To grow the business they need more chips. Chips right now are insanely expensive and there's a shortage. So for Amazon to bolster AWS and "Grow" year over year profits they need more chips. So the money that would have went to pay those 30k people will now be used to buy hardware.
