AWS tends to prioritize performance and scalability over functionality, which is reflected in the design of DynamoDB, SimpleDB, and now DSQL. I'm also not a big fan of this style. It doesn't give customers the flexibility to choose their own trade-offs like Spanner does and assumes that customers can't make these kinds of decisions on their own.

Oh yeah nowadays AWS believes more choices more footguns

I assume they've met my architects then.
