Looks like this should have really been Cloudfront feature instead of it's own service. It only works with Cloudfront after all. Is that so it does not appear like a "price increase of Cloudfront"?

Isn't it for ELBs as well?

Is there any indication that it is? From WAF doc: "AWS WAF is a web application firewall that lets you monitor the HTTP and HTTPS requests that are forwarded to Amazon CloudFront and lets you control access to your content. Based on conditions that you specify, such as the IP addresses that requests originate from or the values of query strings, CloudFront responds to requests either with the requested content or with an HTTP 403 status code (Forbidden). You can also configure CloudFront to return a custom error page when a request is blocked."

So, yeah, it's a CLoudfront feature.
