I might be mistaken but wouldn't Data Explorer be more similar to AWS CloudWatch which has been around for a long time.

Azure Data Explorer/ Kusto is more of a database that is optimized for the log use case than a service. There is a front end tool and a lot of the use-cases are around log management, but it is database you can do general SQL or KQL things with. Time series is one of the core use-cases for it also but it has less marketing around it.
Sounds more like AWS CloudWatch Log Insights launched yesterday.
