In the given scenario, it’s not the 9s you need to worry about, it’s the monthly bill. Unless you’ve trained your kids to be sysadmins and they have credentials and a handover plan in place, their dad’s S3 account is going to be the last thing on their mind when dealing with bereavement and estate windup. It would be very easy for the credit card to be frozen, nonpayment alert emails to go unread, and then to miss the 90 day window before AWS deletes everything.

If we're really talking about this far into the future, they'll have to replace the failing hardware themselves, update the software or find replacements, etc. Also, I hope to still be alive when I hand them the keys to my (non AWS) S3 account. I doubt they'd enjoy those games more at 60 than at, like, 15.
