Exactly, it's pretty common for them to shoot their own foot with a couple of hundred dollar bill, just for one tiny instance with additional options that 'you have to do'.

IMO AWS is deliberately make these things happen and reimburse it later with excuses. It's rather a strategy at this point it seems like.

I don't think it's so much a money-grabbing strategy as the problem that AWS is less a suite of unified services and more a litter of puppies fighting in a sack. With that kind of org chart it's difficult to have a unified, simple billing experience with good beginner training-wheels and on-ramps.
