In an ideal world, yes. In this world, they REALLY should.

The downside of AWS providing something like this out of the box would be complete lack of usability. There's a running not-even-a-joke that whatever UI an AWS service comes with, it's going to be at best an excuse. If you want to make a good use of a feature/offering in their stack, you have to write your own tools for it.

Don't get me wrong, the APIs in AWS are, for most parts, quite nice to work with. [asterisk goes here] -- It's the stock UIs in their web console that are maddening and (IMO) barely fit for anything productive.
