Why doesn't Amazon just pay mongodb? If you you hired some employees from mongo you would have to pay money.

Predictability: who's to say what MongoDB will decide in the future e.g. ask for more money and/or charge per vCPU + memory. Employing developers directly, on the other hand: here's an offer and vesting schedule - they know exactly how much they will spend for 3+ years, and get to control the roadmap.

Because Amazon is all about squeezing every penny out of their supply chain.
