Amazon may be big but even then resources are limited. Individual teams owning the roadmap for services are still small. And there are always competing priorities. Do you prioritize these security and availability improvements or do you pickup some operational improvements to make our engineers oncall easier? Oh there is also this long line of customer features you need to deliver. And re:Invent is also approaching.

When you look at it like this, not very surprising that initiatives like cost savings optimizations may take a back seat for periods of time.
