That doesn't preclude AWS (or anyone else) from trying to buy them. :)

I don't know how much control their external board members have, but if an offer came in, the board may be able to force acceptance instead of going public.

Even before, but moreso after this and the current economic climate, Gitlab is not going public.

Even GitHub was never in a position to go public, that seems to be mere postering to drive valuation or attract M&A offers.
