AWS is not a separate company and even if they were, there is nothing stopping one company from negotiating with another company for special negotiated rates.

You don’t think Netflix is paying rack rates for AWS do you?

no AWS _is_ a different company then Twitch, Amazone owns Twitch but Twitch isn't Amazone.

and yes you can always negotiate rates but it has to be in some "reasonable boundaries" so Twitch still has to pay Amazone and Amazone can't just set the price to just the cost Amazone has, even less so below.
