EC2 sold below market rate ? S3 I could argue somehow (unconvincingly). But what's the argument for EC2 ?

Lots of competitors have S3 equivalents with complete coverage of the S3 API interface; it's a pure commodity at this point.

Who’s actually paying list price?

Anyone with more cash than sense, which is a lot of people. Every business I've worked for hooked up a credit card to AWS and never asked questions, until millions of wasted dollars later. Gotta love daddy corps with billions in reserve, and VC money that pours in like rain. I've been rebuffed multiple times trying to get them to buy SPs and RIs.

The majority of the customers.

(That majority of the customers might stand for less than the turnover of the minority that enjoys discounts. But that does not help you if you belong to the majority.)

Everybody who isn’t big enough to have an EDP in place.

Even then, you give some of the discount back as AWS Enterprise Support charges :)
