This feels strange (maybe I got it wrong).

It's probably because Amazon has all the money in the world they need to develop their products, but I would expect to launch a new product with some minimal but strong features to attract customers. Q offers 40+ built-in connectors from day zero. Like I can imagine the engineers/managers working on connector number 25: "Man, we have implemented already 24 connectors and we don't even know if the product will be a success or not...".

I see "connector" and hear "you'll spend weeks trying to get this feature to work before you give up and write it in Python in an afternoon."
15 connectors was the bare minimum. Brian, for example, has 37 connectors, okay. And a terrific smile.
