Yeah Amazon’s motivations aren’t great, but it’s occupying a space that opened up when Elastic changed the license on Elasticsearch. Nobody’s going to create another permissively licensed alternative to it just because they’re annoyed it’s an Amazon project.
Amazon, after making its pretty barebones fork, lobbed it off to the Linux Foundation. It ultimately feels lazy and self-serving in a way only a select few companies can pull off.
