How many real applications actually want this behavior? AWS is not built around hobbyist needs. It’s built around being a platform to run most shapes of production use cases.
I mean, by the number of people that end up with 100,000 charges in a few hours posting on HN, I'd say a lot more than you're giving it credit for.
I don't think companies want their bill run up either.
This has been a feature request since AWS was a thing.

Yes, as if no startup teams are tasked to remain within hard spending targets when they're trying to build a POC with technologies that they are not initially experts in.
