People are conflating consistency of a design system with consistency of ux metaphors. I worked on the team that built the new home page dashboard and my experience with the components and associated guidance was excellent.

It is not the fault of the design system that service teams, for example, created 5 different interactions for deleting a resource.

AWS leaned hard into building as many services as possible, at the expense of console ui consistency. There is now a swing back toward consistency, and I expect to see more improvements at the "consistent metaphors" level soon.

Yeah, nobody cares about the console. Its really unfortunate. Adding console parity for new features was always an afterthought, and code quality was absolutely terrible for my service. Also we used nodejs 8 up until last year. What a mess.

I think it is getting better, but it’s incredible that it was neglected for so long.
