>Like why does AWS WAF have its own region selection

Assuming you're talking about WAFv2, it seems that's because they chose to have a single set of api endpoints instead of regional-based endpoints. And that the CLI --region option is really only equipped to swap endpoints.

Doesn't explain why they chose that path though.

I think even WAF v1 had stupid region selections on the console.
