Big surprise. Contrary to the popular belief, AWS wasn't/isn't built to support Amazon.com. Some fundamental pieces are designed for Amazon.com scale, but most other services are not (ACM in this case)

Amazon.com uses a lot of AWS services. They even write about it: https://aws.amazon.com/de/blogs/aws/amazon-prime-day-2019-po...

Of course it's true that they don't use all AWS services, either because they don't need them or because they had something built in house earlier which works for them.
