They created a compatible hosted database.

I believe in response to some licensing changes MongoDB made, so the AWS service targets the last permitted license release by Mongo.

*I forgot to mention, they did not release the code for this as you may have been looking for apple-to-apple comparison with the ES situation.

Hi, I work at AWS on Compute services, but not directly on database services. I also work on broader open source topics at Amazon.

Amazon DocumentDB was in development for a long time, and development started well before any of the license changes that MongoDB (the company) made to MongoDB (the database).
