Your thoughts regarding open source are borderline irrational when places like Amazon will copy and paste your repository and start making billions off of it.
What's the problem with that? If I didn't want others to use my code or make money with it, I wouldn't have gone open source in the first place.
I'd rather use an AWS service with an open source core than a closed-source service. Migrating away from AWS in the former case is arguably easier than in the latter.
It's not an abuse. This is by design. It's one thing many don't get about Open Source. The goal is to not discriminate against any kind of use.
If you want to discriminate users by how they use it, then you don't want open source.

And this is because of the open principle.

Its not illegal, but it is abuse
If you consider this an abuse, you're not in favor of the spirit of open source to avoid discrimination.
You think uses should be discriminated between acceptable and abusive.
It's OK to think that way, but it's not an open source way of thinking.
