AWS policy descriptors are certainly robust enough to handle something like this. These frameworks are built for hackathon type projects where you are just using a personal AWS account and you don't care about fiddling with permissions. Try getting access to an Administrator user/role at a big company.

To back up my first point, the framework owner could easily instruct users to set up a temporary user/role that creates the initial function roles/policies as one-time setup. Then a user/role with only the service-level permissions (Lambda etc.) could manage all the actual resources.

The devs who build these frameworks want them to be super simple to use, otherwise they won't retain users!
