Hacker News had a good discussion about this earlier today.

What surprised me was how many commenters seemed unhappy with Amazon's Open Source alternative and the level of resources they appeared to be committing to it.

AWS is pretty well known for rolling out half baked products with understaffed teams especially when it's a re-hosting of an open source product. EKS was a mess for a long time and had a tiny team behind it from what I hear.
Amazon is certainly the big bad wolf here, but I wouldn't be surprised if the move is also designed to inconvenience the small players like logz.io, Graylog, Searchly, etc who might be interfering with their flow of introductory level customers. A quick search reveals there are more of these providers than I ever realized.
