Actually I think their approach is great—it's very modular and there's little overlap between use-cases. An exception (among a few) may be ECS and EKS, where ECS was probably the wrong bet for them now that K8s is getting so much traction. Hence EKS.

But being able to put use either EKS or ECS for orchestration, and then schedule those tasks on either EC2 or Fargate (depending on compute needs), opens up a lot of options. You can start simple and grow as requirements become more complex—without fundamentally changing the deployment artifact. That was the promise of containers originally, so it's nice to see it play out.
