But they don't out-compete them in any shape or form. I'd call it healthy competition.

Pulumi made Hashicorp build Terraform CDK. Which is a great result.

And the only reason Hashicorp was able to build CDK quickly is because they built it on top of Amazon's open source Amazon CDK. Another competitor.

Calling Amazon a competitor because they have CDK is ridiculous.
Amazon is a competitor due to CloudFormation, Secrets Manager, however many ways to run containers there are now...
And SAM, and controltower, and of course the aforementioned cdk
Not really. The big question in infra land at our company these days is terraform vs cdk vs pulumi.
Could you be more constructive than just saying it's ridiculous? If you're an Amazon shop CDK/CloudFormation definitely is a competitor.

Also Terraform now directly integrates with CDK. So apparently Hashicorp felt the heat .

Looks like competition to me.
