>it can actually remember device-based 2FA for a month

Call me crazy, but that seems like a totally different feature than what AWS two-factor auth is doing. AWS uses 2FA to validate users, while Google uses it to validate devices, and you're making it seem like Amazon is too dumb to use local storage for something.

(Also, I don't think the parent commenter was comparing Google to a car crash. The analogy was that it seems weird to get mad about features performing their stated actions.)

Far more secure how?

2FA that is long lived and only protects the device does not sound as secure for something this critical.

Wow. My apologies, I didn't realise your personal self-worth was so wrapped up in your google account. I wasn't even referencing google with the car thing, but the AWS mechanism doing what it's been activated to do.

If you're that sensitive about lighthearted hyperbole, then perhaps you shouldn't use it in the first place.
