No shit, good fucking luck getting a business to purposely neuter itself.

Any reduction in operations or separating into new businesses would almost certainly be an effort to trim expenses/fat, and not a realistic effort into creating multiple viable businesses.

With that said, I'd definitely cut Cloud. They're a distant and expensive third to AWS and Azure, and it probably doesn't make the kind of money that other arms will make.
