SES is already in the mix, so why not just use it directly to send emails from your web server?

True. Why not though? It really depends on your software choices. Security might be one. But with just writing to S3 you get to have the JSON stored as sent, and might be easier to write tests against, since in dev you can write the same JSON to FS and write some assertions... really up to whomever is implementing
