Much of the services were built well before clod formation... Or cloud formation became popular... Or before everyone was willing to make the trade-off that features come later because they had to have cloud formation. Like any other best practice you invent along the way. I'll bet there's something about your 1/3/5/10/15 year old that isn't up to current snuff.

People forget, AWS is massive and taking care of edge case after edge case while being in a bullet point war with other cloud providers.

Even new features sometimes don’t get CloudFormation support for quite a while (sometimes longer than third-party support like Terraform). I keep wondering why they didn’t want it for their own integration testing.
