Amazon actually does allow SQL Server. The poster saying it probably didn't was influenced by the fact that Azure, Microsoft's own cloud solution is an AWS competitor.
To your own points:
SQL Server is as proprietary as Oracle
SQL Server is cheaper than Oracle
SQL Server is being ported to Linux in 2017 :)

Amazon.com seems to strongly encourage the companies it acquires to use aws. Apparently, woot.com is fixing to rewrite the website in Java or something just so they do not have to use Windows. Apparently, it makes sense to them.
