AWS is confusing because they have a lot of tools that differ in dimensions that 80% of the users don't understand.
If you don't understand, for example, the difference between MySQL and PostgresQL then RDS/PostgresQL and RDS/mysql are the same. How does aurora mysql and aurora PostgresQL differ from standard RDS versions? Well, you have to actually read and understand...or watch some yoyo's YouTube video explainer.
AWS is complicated because it offers a lot. Do you want a satellite downlink? AWS has that. How about a private 5G cell network? Yep. How about a distributed data store with basically fixed read latency? Well, there are a bunch of different options depending on what you want.
Because you're obviously not used to being in the enterprise space, you think that confusion is what they want. They don't. In the space where people spend the big bucks being totally clear is what every good vendor strives for. You're in a multi-year relationship with these companies, and you want them to succeed. AWS isn't Oracle.
Obviously there are tons of shops that will sell people the wrong thing. But then another shop comes along and takes their business (which is one project I'm involved with now - they have like some ridiculous RDS bill that shouldn't be more than $500/mo).
