It makes sense for the system, and thus for the client.

Just because there are a lot of boxes in the diagram that does not mean the system is complex. A lambda is just a stateless message handler. Half the diagram are lambdas. The rest is just a few persistence services and then stuff related to external interfaces, likr DNS services and API gateways and auth and pubsub.

Any desktop app is way way more complex than this. A dialog box has easily twice the number of handlers.
