I don't see any reason to use this for AWS over CDK. CDK already has some pretty higher level modules that make it really easy to setup ecs, k8s, vpc, ect.
I think they might be different things. Terraform is comparable to CDK isn't it? and this uses terraform, so in the same way I think its higher level than CDK and could even one day have it as an option (e.g. terraform, pulumi, CF, CDK, openTofu etc.) I could be totally off base though, have not really used CDK tbh
