YugaByte DB product manager here. Yes, CosmosDB and its underlying architecture were indeed not yet publicly available when we started the YugaByte DB project early 2016. However, classifying CosmosDB as a distributed SQL database is a bit of stretch given no support for SQL on the write path (the write path uses a custom document API). This means no support for multi-row/multi-shard ACID transactions as well as features such as client-initiated session transactions.
