Hello.
Enable EC2 termination protection.
Basically, the countermeasure is to enable the termination protection option when or after creating EC2 to prevent accidental deletion.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/terminate-instances-considerations.html
It's true that a pop-up or other warning when deleting something would help prevent accidental deletion, but some people still delete it, so use deletion protection to further reduce that possibility.
Also, if you have any requests or feedback regarding the UI, I recommend sending a message from the feedback button on the bottom left of the management console.

I appreciate the suggestion to enable EC2 termination protection as a measure against accidental deletion. It's indeed a crucial step to mitigate risks.
However, my concern lies more with understanding the intention behind certain default settings. If termination protection is meant to prevent accidents, why isn't it enabled by default? Additionally, it's puzzling that the "Delete on Termination" setting defaults to true, seemingly increasing the risk of unintended data loss.
