And there's the magic of the Amazon marketplace. Let's you buy non-AWS services while still ending up on the AWS bill and contributing to any potential spending commitment the company has.

Doesn’t actually work because purchasing on marketplace is still restricted.

Does Amazon allow competing services to be sold on AWS marketplace ?

Specifically, if rsync.net service (for instance) were targeted as a non-Amazon backup location, would Amazon allow us to sell our service on AWS marketplace ?

This presumably competes with S3 and other storage options ...

I've never been on the seller side, so I don't know exactly what policies there are around what products can be sold. But to give an example, Datadog is available on the AWS marketplace, which offers a competing product to CloudWatch. I do believe you have to deliver your service via AWS somehow, such as via an AMI or container image etc but the service itself doesn't have to be on AWS as far as I know.
