I bet cloud providers are incentivized not to provide detailed billing/usage stats. I remember having to use a 3rd party service to analyze our S3 usage.
Infinite scalability is also a curse - we had a case where pruning history from an S3 bucket was failing for months and we didn’t know until the storage bill became significant enough to notice. I guess in some ways it is better than being woken up in the middle of night but we wasted millions storing useless data
Azure also has similar issues - deleting a VM sometimes doesn’t cleanup dependent resources and it is a mess to find and delete later - only because the dependent resources are deliberately not named with a matching tag.
