Yeah, shut off EC2 instances, block access to all resources, etc. Preserve bucket data and other storage for N days or $M max allowance (ultimately billable) before deleting. AWS could limit how much storage they make available to someone with a budget, reducing their risk substantially.

It's pretty easy stuff, IMO, but the upside for them is low -- after all they are already #1.

That might work for you, but not everyone. They might even have legal trouble with such a system, if they delete data that was required to be retained for example. You're not thinking of all the edge cases.

Why is data remotely their problem?

If you don't have your data backed up in something other than Amazon, Amazon is the LEAST of your worries.
