Well, even Amazon (affiliate) ads server their image over http. So for whatever reason, even the owner of AWS can't serve their ads over https.

Do you need to use their widgets in the first place is another question.

The reasons are as described - a big company with outdated or poor tech policies. Just because AWS is advanced doesn't mean every use of it is. Clearly Cloudfront supports HTTPS and has for a long time so they can enable it if they want to.
