I agree, it's frustrating. However, considering you can share security groups, and even share VPC as a resource to different AWS accounts, and that "names" are non-unique, how would you solve the problem of allowing people to select a non-unique resource and know which one they actually mean.
It's a pain, sure, but there's no better solution... explicitness creates certainty in this case..
