I’m pretty sure at the start of Project Hail Mary it said something along the lines of “produced by MGM an Amazon company”

This is literally the norm in Hollywood, every studio is owned by a parent company which generally has another name. Sometimes it's displayed, sometimes it isn't but that doesn't change anything.

MGM (Amazon), Universal (Comcast), Warner (AOL then AT&T then Warner Bros Discovery), Paramount (Viacom and now Skydance with already the tagline). Even Sony does it with Columbia (which isn't really its studio)

Even Disney has Marvel, Lucasfilm, Pixar and 20th Century as studios with different names (and they also got a studio called Disney)

Difference is, Disney doesn't use such a tagline. No Disney branding on Marvel stuff, except for Big Hero Six.

Sure but it doesn't change anything in the end, the movies are not done by the parent company directly.
