> Because ultimately you are drawing a line between two for-profit corporations and asserting that one of them is exploitative and selfish (Amazon) and one of them is not (Elastic). There is obviously a difference between a monopolistic corporations like Amazon that is actively crushing any competition with its control of the market and a bigger tech company like Elastic that is mostly driven by technological innovation (for now). Does not mean that one is more morally evil than the other. In fact monopolistic corporations can offer their workers much better working conditions because of the extra profits they make from abusing their position. Well Amazon is not exactly known for that but in general they do. I guess Developer are treated pretty well at least. So again, the point is not a moral failure but the economic position and the system that creates such a situation. While the creation of big monopolies is more or less inevitable it is still a good idea to be critical of the social and economic dangers.
