They probably view it as a competitive advantage that Azure or GCP would try to copy if they figured out the "secret sauce."

I kinda doubt it. It's probably just that open sourcing it won't provide much utility (I bet lots of code is aws specific) and just adds a new maintenance burden for them.

The way you need to write code for a massively scalable service is just different. And the things you need to operate a service are also just different.

Azure has a better product (Cosmos is damn good) and Google engineers have too much hubris to import something from lowly Amazon engineers.

Azure has Cosmos and Google has Datastore. They would never.

Azure has Cosmos which is arguably better than DynamoDB for a lot of use cases.
