The dev-targeted tooling is useful and I'm always finding something new and delightful (came across SAM last week), but everything about the AWS management console is incredibly cumbersome. Had to find a stack overflow answer on how to view my existing services the other day. I think if your core, day-to-day resources are all-in on AWS it is more learnable, but for the average web developer the console is very overwhelming. I suspect the rationale is that companies will use so many of the services that showing which are "in-use" is noisy, but it almost feels like a dark pattern intended to hide usage and costs.
I'd note that this isn't a problem unique to AWS. Azure has the same issues, and Google to some extent (though Google appears to be getting better at it).

Hard agree on being able to see components in a single view. You can do some things through tag manager etc, but it's not very enjoyable. Seems like a relatively straight forward to comprehend feature.
