Honesty sounds like AWS is giving up on providing hosted elastic search. I hated using it, it always was failing and I spent more time administering it than anything else.

I recently used Elastic Cloud, and as much as I hate the company, their product is actually really good. I’d always recommend Elastic.

Yes, Elastic’s press release is carefully crafted to give that impression, but, AFAICT, all AWS is doing is using the name of the open fork (“OpenSearch” [0]) for their service, which is now labelled “Amazon OpenSearch Service” and subheaded “(successor to Amazon Elasticsearch Service)” [1], and not using the ElasticSearch name (except as a historical reference.)
