Thank you for sharing, I think you raise some good points.
With regards to the OSS point, I am forced to lash at both Redis Labs and AWS every time I want to say something about Redis to avoid easy exploitation of my words by either party, but I think the problem with open source goes much deeper than what companies like Redis Labs are doing.
AWS is in many ways being a good OSS citizen, and yet it too has devastating effects on a lot of OSS projects and not just because of conflicting business models.

Here's some writing I did on the subject:
