Diversity is not one of the requirements. SLC meets all stated Amazon requirements.
This site actually suggests Provo, which doesn't meet the 1 million metro requirement, unless Amazon is looking at CSA population, in that case Provo would fit.

There really is 0 chance they actually pick SLC.

Not a big enough market, not the right regional location, air quality,

Big enough for Adobe to put in a large building with plans for two more

Adobe=1,500 jobs. Amazon=50,000 jobs.

I'll guarantee you right now it isn't coming to Utah.

While you're probably right I think you dismiss the state too quickly

Did I? It didn't even crack Amazon's top 20.

Market size is well within requirement. The other quirky things will definitely be an issue.

My guess is a canadian city, Denver, Austin, Charlotte or Atlanta

Would be great for the city, but there are many other cities that check a lot/all of the boxes as well

They want $5-7 Billion in incentives to locate. Only a few states can do that
