TL;DR: Money. Just like when ElasticSearch changed license, they forked and went with OpenSearch.

I think it's not exactly money, but avoiding a scenario where their business can be held hostage by a company which in practice is trying to force them into a commercial license.

Notice that AWS is far from being alone in this move, as the massive support around Valley shows.
