Isn’t employing too many abstractions just what many here are advocating - putting a layer of abstraction over the SDKs abstractions of the API? I would much rather come into a code base that just uses Python + Boto3 (AWS’s Python SDK) than one that uses Python + “SQSManager”/“S3Manager” + Boto3.

That is indeed what many here are advocating. There are only so many possible interfaces or implementations, and usually abstracting over one or the other is an effort in reinventing the wheel, or the saw, or the water clock, and not doing the job as well as some standard parts glued together until quite far into the endeavor.
