Thanks for the clarification, Sarven!
My concern is, as I briefly mentioned in the post, that research institutions are in a desperate rush to outsource everything to do with IT to "The Cloud". There are a number of reasons, including the fact that they can't hire enough skilled people, and that outsourcing means that the CIO has some place to point the finger when things go wrong. "The Cloud" generally means AWS, but in the case of researcher's "pods" it would definitely mean Elsevier (who would probably run on AWS).
So the "pods" would all end up controlled by Elsevier. Which in the big picture would not be much of a change, and would probably end up being even more expensive than the system we have now.
