Why is AWS okay with this-- Isn't this profit that should be in their pocket?

I was wondering this .. could the fact they have a larger guaranteed long term spend, mean they can leverage that future income in some way?

We actually have a strong positive relationship with AWS! They're helping us by introducing us to their customers, and we can also be purchased on the AWS marketplace: https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-3sq4hhmmwb5fg...

Yes it should be and will be in a due time.

AMZN carefully watches the marketplace for "wonders" who are monetizing inefficiencies and if these inefficiencies worth big enough profit, AMZN will fill the gap themselves.

Platform is never your friend or "partner" even if they say so.

Why would AWS complain? A company coming along and converting some of their month-to-month instances into 3-year billing commitments while taking on all the risk is fantastic from their perspective. No wonder they are encouraging it.
