Azure does this a little better, but best would be to see a breakdown on the invoice with links directly back to the resource.

Maybe there are discounts or other processing that makes this hard.

Or, less charitably, this would lead to people optimising their costs a lot better and canceling unused services much sooner.

Azure groups most things into resource groups which greatly simplifies things.

Yes. Also split out into sub categories. How much of an ec2 spend was on bandwidth and how much on compute for example.

Enterprise Agreement accounts aren’t billed on demand, so there’s little use for that in accounts spending a lot of money.
