You are correct, which makes it even more pernicious that Amazon chooses to not fix this ... profits at any cost is not a long term benefit ... the longer AWS fails to fix this more folks will tend to lean toward the competition especially Azure ... I have been a unix/linux server side developer since the beginning and always use a linux laptop so no fan of Microsoft however their Azure platform is lightyears ahead of AWS ... its obvious the AWS console web front end needs a wholescale rewrite from the bottom up ... again as you say its not a priority probably because all big consumers never use the AWS console as they have written their own automation layer atop the AWS SDK
