I highly doubt it would be possible to do something like this at AWS, just because hosting multitenant infrastructure and working with the government forces you to implement security since you're being audited and awarded contracts on that basis. Twitch users don't give a crap about the security of the platform. They just want to monetize as quickly as they can, too.
So I'm not hugely surprised that practices and culture would be different even if they have the same parent company, especially since Twitch was an acquisition. Even if not, though, I'd expect security at Prime to be better than Twitch but worse than Marketplace, Marketplace to be worse than AWS, etc. All speculation since I've never worked at any Amazon product, but that's what I would expect.
Quality of life and developer experience are important topics in many ways, but should they really trump security consistently? It's always going to be dependent on people's risk assessment and comfort, but frequently it skews the wrong way because the people making the decisions know that they'll be gone.
My company can shut off my access to the all the databases when they stop asking me to troubleshoot any and all data issues. Which will never happen.
