Absolutely agree. The ideas of 'publically accessible' files on S3 is so convoluted and the copy is not at all clear despite them adding all-caps in multiple places...
And then policies are an attempt (I think) at simplifying permissions to a bucket with one declaration, but in practice what I see are people copy-pasting decades-old (really!) policies from other projects because most of us just need to get a private file store up and running.
Platform exhaustion - I have to know so much about AWS to not make a huge mistake that it takes away from my actual product development work that my company expects out of me.
