Elasticsearch is a bad example. Their elasticsearch offering has always been wack. There's a tier of services at AWS: s3/ec2/ecs/rds/elasticache - Flagships, will almost always work except in weird edge cases. Everyone uses these. Niche Stuff - If you need it you'll know. It'll generally at least be an 80% tool (think athena/firehose/aws waf/etc). Stuff with shitty pricing - Stuff they obviously only built for feature parity with GCP/Microsoft (think EKS/Managed SFTP/Cloud Active Directory) Broken shit you use once, it screws you, and you never use it again - Usually it's either because the underlying open source tool is built in a fashion that isn't appropriate for a shared services environment or it's because someone at AWS has 'opinions' (think Elasticsearch/Cloudformation)
