Sure, but the court isn’t going to consider hyrum’s law in a tort claim, but might consider AWS documentation - even with a disclaimer - with more weight.

Rely on undocumented behavior at your own risk.

Has Amazon ever been taken to court for things like this? I really don't think this is a legal concern.

I don't buy the legal angle. But if I was an overworked Amazon SWE I'd also like to avoid the work of documentation and a proper migration the next time implementation is changed.

Amazon is involved in so many lawsuits right now, I honestly can’t tell. I did some google searches and gave up after 5+ pages.
