I purchase all my domains from AWS Route53 to prevent this kind of thing from happening.

I wonder what the rationale for doing this is? I just assumed cloud providers offered domain registration as a loss leader keep you in their ecosystem.

Can AWS offer support for “.dev” domains so I can transfer it there?

If AWS ever decides to suspend your root account, good luck with that. They never, ever, ever give it back. I had a root account I used for free tier stuff on my primary e-mail address that I never got back because I had $2 charges I didn't pay for 4 months because I didn't realize they were even trying to charge me.

.dev is a Google Registry domain, so they'll have to negotiate with Google to get it in their platform.
