And yet Amazon Web Services manages to STILL support SimpleDB. Many years (nearly a decade?) after being deprecated.

This sounds like a money problem to me. The argument is that people have to do boring work.

Yes they do, and isn’t that what money is for?

The effort required to maintain a single non-changing binary, while nonzero, is far, faaar less, than the ongoing effort required to maintain user facing tools with regulatory compliance issues.

Why do you say SimpleDB is a single binary?
