TBH I think you have a point there: the hot new thing is serverless and lambda so everyone I know really wants to work on those teams. I see where you're coming from for sure. There are still a lot of talented and passionate people at Amazon who want to execute on other products. The S3 team is still growing 10 years later and they're still doing (IMO) cool stuff. I'm a devangelist though so I don't always get to see the inside of every team (not enough time). I do know that we all drink the customer focused kool-aide and we genuinely believe in it. Sorry if this all sounds like marketing.
