I'm not going to assume that DynamoDB was forced upon them. I don't know. What I'm more sure about:
Developers have a choice in if they want to invest the time in understanding the tools they use, and learning about the tool's capabilities. In this specific case, we're not talking about a lot of time. 2-3 hours to read the documentation for a new database you're going to be building your business on top of.

What is your argument exactly?
