One of my pet peeves about it (might have since been fixed) is that AWS will gladly walk you through the wizard to set up an EC2 server, and only at the very end say “oh you don’t have permission to do that lol”.

I compared it to a bartender who immediately recognizes that you’re underage but offers you alcoholic drinks, gives you samples, asks about preferences, counts out your change, and only after all of that stops you from drinking it.
