Originally, that's true, Amazon didn't run on AWS afaik. But i believe they do now.
Nevertheless, they still have application architecture which sits above the aws substrate. It's perfectly feasible for them to have seriously fucked up a deployment that runs on top of AWS, which may be functioning just fine (and at least all of my services running out of us-east seem to be up and running).
