Seems like the in between of a managed service and raw AWS trying to take advantage of individual AWS accounts having a free tier.

So have the customer make the account, take advantage of the free 10k emails a month to claim a lower price.

I don’t see the point in it. I doubt there will be much customer service if problems happen. Maybe if you’re trying to launch a free newsletter or something but otherwise it’s worth paying for peace of mind and potential lost time. You don’t want to deal with emails not getting sent or issues with the service when you’re focused on growing your company.
