Why required region in IAM Client?

[Nevation]

Describe the bug

async function iam_summary_test() {
    const iam = new IAMClient({ credentials: makeCredentials() })
    const command = new GetAccountAuthorizationDetailsCommand({});
    const data = await iam.send(command);

    return data
}

In aws-sdk v2, the IAM region was not required, but in v3, an error occurs "Error: Region is missing" if there is no region.

So I think it's a bug, and I ask for a fix.

Your environment

@aws-sdk/client-iam@^3.4.1

Is the issue in the browser/Node.js/ReactNative?

Hi @Nevation Thank you for bringing this up! You are right, region is not required for IAM service. Right now all services will throw if region is not provided. We will add another region provider specifically for global services like IAM, Route53, ImportExport, WAF, Budgets, Chime, Cloudfront services

Encountered this when trying to migrate from v2, bumping for visibility.
