Description
### Is this feature request related to a new or existing Amplify category?
_No response_
### Is this related to another service?
_No response_
### Describe the feature you'd like to request
When there are no `default` aws credential defined locally, `amplify init -y` will fail with error message that may confuse the user. Provide better error message.
### Describe the solution you'd like
If the default credential is not found, print out what was expected and was not found.
### Describe alternatives you've considered
There is a workaround for user to proceed without the `-y` flag. But if a new user is following the documentation, they may just copy & paste commands from document and may run into this. CLI output should guide the user into troubleshooting the issue.
