Having to pay for hosting an open source product? Isn’t Amazon doing what they should in this case where a company tries to block any competition.

No. Amazon was abusing their enormous market power to squeeze the company that made this software out of the market of hosting it.

(Not to mention lying about "partnering" with them)

If allowed to continue this would kill the project. If only Amazon can monetize it, it doesnt get developed. The open source project then dies.

Amazon is no more doing the right thing here than they were when they destroyed diapers.com with a strategy of sustained predatory pricing.

The fact that they want a pat on the back for being "pro open source" now after pulling this kind of crap is just icing on the cake.
