This explanation does make a lot of sense. But why not just add a Cassandra interface to DynamoDB the way they added a Postgres interface to Aurora RDS?

They didn’t add a Postgres front end to RDS. They took the Postgres open source code and (grossly simplified) changed the storage layer and added more AWS specific features. Aurora/MySQL and Aurora/Postgres or more or less AWS specific forks of the respective projects.

Aurora RDS is a meta product name though, you can't use it without specifying the engine, MySQL or PostgreSQL.

What you are saying would be more like adding a postgres frontend to mysql.
