No. It doesn't really impact the company's bottom line if your software engineering org is 100 people making $20k a month and someone accidentally wastes $4k of EBS disk. It's nice if you don't waste it, of course, but "oops, filled up the disk with 'y' output" is better than "yeah actually all of those files are pretty important, I think team X is using them" because you can instantly delete it, rather than doing a multi-month project to see if team X really is using the files.
