At Canva's scale you'll spend hundreds of thousands a year, just hiring one of the engineers working on your home-grown solution. Multiple this by 50 or more just for the staff, before talking about hardware, cost of delivery speed, cost of bugs, etc.

Desperately trying to work out if they can delete this resource or that because who the hell knows which bit of critical code is using it. Or spending days trying to manage a chewing gum ball of IAM policies.

The point is that you will spend millions anyway. Might as well have something better than whatever home-grown dumpster fire your team will come up with. You also seem very ignorant of how AWS works. I've never had to wonder if I could delete a resource or not, because all our resources are created via CloudFormation. Same for IAM policies.
