You're being downvoted but you're absolutely right. The fact that Cloudwatch doesn't support journald is a major, major fail on AWS' part. It's not like this is new or obscure software.

I'm just surprised anyone wants to use cloudwatch when they don't need to. It is expensive, and far from the best observability platform.

It's always there by default. That's the only reason I've ever seen it used.
