Terraform has it's shortcomings for sure, but I don't think it's reasonable to expect Terraform to go out and clean up second-order effects of it's resources.
I'm not doubting that the situations you describe are true, but abandoning resources like that is an AWS-lifecycle problem, not really a Terraform one.
Sure. My point is just that `terraform destroy` doesn't necessarily solve the problem at hand. And you could still end up continue paying for those second-order effects after running a terraform destroy.
