Yeah...

If I'm working tickets at AWS that kind of dickishness is going to ensure that I don't do more than the least amount of effort for you.

Maybe I could burn my entire weekend trying to see if I can rescue your data... or maybe I'm going to do nothing more than strictly follow procedure and let my boss know that I tried...

For one thing, IMO that wasn't all that dickish.

For another, they arguably didn't even do the least amount of effort; they didn't do anything at all.

For a third, the sheer gall of asking for five-star reviews after that firmly puts the “support” droids in the wrong, no matter what.
