Id expect its something that customers have asked for and theres ~0 marginal cost to provide it. I can see two aspects for customers; its simplicity & consistency with edge or on prem nodes using the same time source as your cloud infra. Theres a degree of trust and consistency for those same customers to get time from AWS instead of a random pool.ntp provider.

Disclaimer: principal at AWS but the above are my sole conjecture/thoughts. I have no involvement or inside knowledge of this service release.

So if i started with AWS, and then later decide to add infra from other cloud providers. i must somehow remind myself to use AWS ntp servers. If not be ready for surprises?
