> Recently we have seen what happened between elastic and AWS. So, AWS could also pull an IBM and decide to drop it or tie it tightly with AWS services etc.

There's a lot of reason to distrust Amazon, but this isn't what ended up happening with Elasticsearch and Kibana. Ultimately, the company Elastic took open source projects, moved them to more restrictive licenses, and Amazon came in and committed to maintaining proper open source forks.
