This amazon release specifically says that amazon will only support up to 2023, what makes you think they won't do the same?

The Amazon release promises support out to that date.

There's fairly good business reason to think that, if OpenJDK continues to be popular and relevant (as I expect it will be), that Amazon will continue to extend that date, keeping it roughly four to five years in the future each time. They're giving confidence in the long-term support of Java on their platform, not making an indefinite promise about the future.

Also to note James Gosling works at Amazon since May '17. They clearly have a vested interest in Java.
