I personally know a VP who was fired for buying "IBM Cloud." You can absolutely get flak for choosing IBM these days, even at a stodgy enterprise.

The gist is still current, but you need to fill in AWS as the current uncontroversial choice.

Must be a very terrible company to work for if they are firing people solely on them picking X over Y.
