I mean, that's kind of my point though. You either get worse than useless, over detailed to the point of useless, or you have to spend weeks pulling hacky crap with tags to try to jury-rig your own useful billing system out of their clusterfuck.
I think you're over exaggerating the effort needed for tagging resources. Between terraform/pulumi/cdk and the tag tool, it's relatively easy to make sure everything is tagged. Doubly so if you have a finance department who's literal job is to go through and do that (or ask you for help with it)
