I think of it as different companies helping at different stages of mainstream adoption

for any open source project, the initial adoption during its initial stages would have been that project itself, later on it will be someone with financial incentive to drive adoption but that would still be a niche market and as soon as it starts to show potential aws simply copies and gives it as an offering

all 3 help with the adoption, whether we like it or not, aws has much larger distribution channel and people would rather just use one of the existing vendor than buy a new Nth vendor
