People often assume a connection between the Dynamo Paper and DynamoDB, so they claim that DynamoDB uses leaderless replication.

However, DynamoDB is based on many principles of Dynamo, but it is not an implementation of Dynamo. See reference 4 of the Wikipedia article on Dynamo for a quote explaining that it uses single-leader replication.
