This is the fundamental misunderstanding. There is a centralized AWS console team/organization. They are responsible for the UI libraries, guidelines, common elements, mezzanine, etc, across all of AWS.
They dont write the actual "service pane" UX that you interact with when you start an EC2 instance or upload an S3 object. That surface area is so large, varied, and changes at a frantic velocity that there's no way a single team or group could ever keep up. Even a single "service" like EC2 or Systems Manager actually has multiple front end teams responsible for different portions of the UX or functionality.
