AWS API Rate limits are very surprising. I've hit them on new accounts when trying to deploy terraform based code, and that's without having to literally scan the entire account. If I have 3k machines running in an autoscaling group I think it would be ridiculous to have to hit each one of those with API calls to try and infer which were or weren't part of my state. Building a simple high availability VPC is about 72 resources just by itself. I don't think people advocating for "the cloud is the state" realize how big even trivial environments can get- let alone complex ones.
