This always feels like the result of leadership too scared to build. It's so much safer and easier to tear down.

Amazon spent a lot of time and money and built a top-tier workforce. But now they are out of ideas for what these people can do? They don't have any untapped opportunities left? No projects that never quite made it to the top of the stack? No deferred maintenance that could be taken care of now?

They could put that engineering effort to unifying the AWS console. :D.
