It's not more convenient to select the correct privileges. It is certainly a good idea, but for something where you want to get started quickly, just giving full access is much easier. However, I think whereever this is done in a tutorial, there should be a big disclaimer with a link on how to set permissions correctly.

That is the point. It is a terrible idea to provide full administrative privileges to something you are testing. I.e, it does not need to remove EC2 instances so it is a bad idea granting it against you AWS account.
If the tutorial provides a policy ready to copy & paste with all the required privileges, you will be able to customise it better or just using it as it is.
