I've always thought that AWS conceptual model and implementation is a big mess. Root accounts different from other account, big numbers & ARNs exposed to the user, meaningless names for services, multiple names for same concepts (do I need to say Ireland-1 or is it eu-east-1?). It's inhuman and overly complex. I assume people hasn't revolted because that baroque and unnecessary obfuscation feeds a lot of consultants whose time could have been cut significantly have Amazon had someone to think before implementing such monstrosity.
