Also worth noting that AWS was already selling products using Elastic in the name before Elastic/Elasticsearch (2010)

Eg AWS Elastic Compute Cloud (2006) AWS Elastic Block Storage (2008)

I suspect if Elastic tried to take them to court they would have got the trademark thrown out.

As a previous comment noted, Elastic _did_ take them to court over the trademark and it was _not_ thrown out: https://www.elastic.co/blog/elastic-and-amazon-reach-agreeme...
