I think it's pretty sad that Conglomo X can take an open source product, add some tweaks and sell/capture the entire market. Basically taking all the work that open source maintainers have done.
What's the solution here?

There isn't a 'purer' form of open source which does exactly what you want with respect to big companies using the code.
You can be in favour of licensing that restricts Amazon or Microsoft's right to use your work. But that position is detrimental to, not supportive of, open source, since such a license would not be open source.
The messaging against elastic style licences and even copyleft licenses is too convenient for me to trust as being 100% genuine.
Or when they infected their previously open source components like logstash?
That's why most open source maintainers use truly open-source licenses for their software - BSD, MIT, Apache2, and they will be happy if Amazon, Google or Microsoft builds successful product on top of their open-source software, since this gives them the desired recognition.
