Everyone, but it is up to one team to enforce standards (tagging) such that you can do proper cost attribution to teams and products.

Depending on how you add infra there are tools you can use to estimate the cost of a change at the pr level before it goes live.

Standards enforcement like tagging, TF structure, pipelines etc is currently owned by the platform team. We also have mechanisms to figure out the cost change (approximately) with each Infra PR. The struggle is to attribute cost changes in application-only changes and to identify them early in the lifecycle. These would be PRs for microservices that add features, fix bugs and handle tech debt.
Hate to suggest more process, but the technical review stage could be edited to include a section where cost changes are explored?
