Yeah - but they need Mongo (or whatever) to a) exist, and b) be widely enough used to make it worth their while.
Amazon isn't in the business of creating and promoting new software to developers. Not in the way Mongo/Redis/Elastic are.
"Popular things" have to come from somewhere, and my optimistic side kinda hopes that _maybe_ these new "OSS unless you're a cloud provider" licenses will be a way to fund development of software too big and complex and ambitious that it won't ever get started as a "scratch your itch" project. I dunno if that'll pan out. But I'm glad someone is trying.
