No. You’re in denial about the importance of authorisation, don’t want to give it the time it deserves, and are shooting the messenger in placing the blame on IAM to the degree that you are. People see AAA as a pain in the ass because it’s not the problem they thought they’d need to solve. That doesn’t mean that it’s important, or that the complexity is avoidable.
For the record, I’ve never been in a development team of more than 4 people, and my teams have always been responsible for their own ops. No ‘corporate dev’ here.

True.

Not necessary true.

Untrue. There is no need for IAM for the vast majority of 4 people teams and there could be a simpler solution for those, like it was before IAM. And it can actually be built on top of IAM, just spare people from diving deep into it.
