AWS doesn't do this. AWS keeps around old deprecated services that they aren't developing new features for, in perpetuity (e.g. SimpleDB). They might not launch that service into new regions, but they will keep it around in existing regions to not break customers who depend on it.
This is a reflection of AWS being "customer obsessed" where Google is not.
That's the least generous, and least logical, possible take, and I'm the opposite of a fan of Amazon or AWS.
If a customer is not multi-region already, and if Amazon hasn't promised multi-region availability, then the customer has simply chosen the wrong product. It's not in anyone's interest for Amazon to waste resources rolling out a product that they can't sell, just because maybe someone wants to expand their existing use.
Exactly. AWS never promises every product in every DC. If you build on it before it's available in a region you need it in, it's a choice and risk you are making
