I worked on the relaunch of Cloud9 --> AWS Cloud9 and there was an extensive naming process shortly before the launch of the service, both for AWS Cloud9 and for the term "environments" (which was previously workspaces).
I can tell you that there were lots of managers, PMs, directors, etc involved and they considered tons of naming options. They took into account third party services/products, first party services/products, and other things that might have overlap. This was likely the situation here and they accepted this as a drawback.
That said, you're free to disagree and that doesn't mean it was the right choice, just wanted to point out that this was not an oversight.
I'm thinking Amazon doesn't care a whole lot about the IP of others. I say that based on reports of rampant counterfeit goods and complaints about Amazon copying product design for their in-house brands.
