Elastic has the right to take the code private. Basically they are making a fork.
AWS also has the right to create their fork and contribute to it.
If we're playing the game of "who's the bigger dickhead" I would say it's Elastic. Before these 2 forks, many companies benefitted from hosting Elasticsearch for their customers. From their reasoning, it seems that only they should benefit from the code. Which is not Elastic's by the way. It belongs to the world.
