Netflix uses Amazon for scale. This is a problem. As much as burst architectures have theoretical advantages, the costs just don't add up beyond a certain size. I cannot believe that Netflix isn't at the point where they'd be better off owning their own servers
I would guess they believe the capitol to be gained through continued growth (or the capitol to be saved in a decline) eclipses the added cost of relying on Amazon.
In other words, owning your own servers is good for a stable market. They probably believe their market is still too volatile to depend on their own servers.
