> good API like AWS has lets your expensive admins actually get things done hundreds of times faster than how most self-hosted IT can do

Depends. APIs must take into account many more cases than our own specific use case, and I find we are often spending a lot of time going through unnecessary (for us) hoops. And that's leaving aside possible API changes.
