So, "Drop-in replacement for E in the ELK stack, but not really, maybe, limitations apply"? Why even use that copy then?

To be honest plenty do that. Companies claim their object storage is S3 compatiable even if they havent implemented every single functionality that S3 has.
Let's call it an almost equivalent replacement, like "e" for "E".
To entice people searching for ElasticSearch alternatives.
The clear misrepresentation for years with absolutely no shame...
