If Amazon's OpenSearch plateaus, and everyone wants to host ElasticSearch, but on their existing AWS infra/sales business inertia, this issue will fundamentally reoccur. Nothing actually changed except Elastic thinks Amazon will commit to their own fork. If Amazon doesn't, we're back to square one: Amazon hosts open source ElasticSearch, Elastic changes their license, another fork.
"Amazon is fully invested in their fork." Amazon is a cutthroat business that will change strategy if their investment isn't paying off.
That this scenario isn't addressed at the very top of your "addressing the trolls" doesn't bode well at all.
