It just seems less professional. It’s much like having a .blogger.com or .substack domain.
We have been trained for decades not to trust random domains. To the uninitiated, a CloudFront domain is random.
I know I’m taken a little aback anytime I go to Amazon’s credit card site - https://amazon.syf.com/login/ it looks like a phishing site.
This Cloudfront URL is not a customer visible URL, it's just referenced for some static assets (images/JS/CSS). The warning is shown instead of the actual SaaS app that is hosted on a "proper" domain, effectively taking the whole thing down.
