Mostly because this is how they are done originally, though I don't really think they are wrong. ec2 is part of AWS, s3 is a different part, route53 is a third part.
aws_ec2_foo could have been a thing, but that's a little verbose. The easiest thing to do here in the future is probably to add a subcategory for the module docs generator, as we will not be supporting alias names or breaking existing modules.
