Because it's terrible and has always been terrible?
After 2017 I'll never use US-east-1 again.
Hell... I should have learned that particular lesson in 2011 but it took two catastrophic failures for me to figure it out.
There are numerous threads here on HN covering the topic "why does US-east-1 suck so hard."

- hinkley 5y agoI wonder if there’s too much moral hazard for them to run a data center just for Amazon but run exactly the same as the other data centers? Or would Amazon scope creep it into its own snowflake. I kind of doubt that they’re getting efficient use of hardware Amazon could be using but isn’t, since if someone allocates it it’s not available for Amazon anymore.
