What? This isn't controversial, Snowflake did this years ago and this is the main reason it became a $40B business.
Amazon came out with Redshift, a cloud OLAP database, but it tied compute with data so teams couldn't scale compute and data separately and thus had to pay disproportional costs to their required workloads.
Sure, there's good reasons to keep compute and data together. But there is obviously a massive market for technologies that keep them separate...
Sometimes people infer things that aren't strictly speaking logically implied. That doesn't make it not misleading, if it reliably causes people to make those inferences.
