If EBS volume snapshots are stored in S3, then why can't I see them in the AWS Management Console? Am I missing something here?

Amazon EBS Snapshots are a convenient way to back up your EBS volumes. The snapshots are automatically saved to Amazon S3 for long-term retention.
By default, snapshots of EBS volumes on an Outpost are stored in Amazon S3 in the Region of the Outpost. You can also use Amazon EBS local snapshots on Outposts to store snapshots of volumes on an Outpost locally in Amazon S3 on the Outpost itself.
No, EBS snapshots cannot be accessed; they can only be used to create a new EBS volume. EBS doesn't provide snapshots.
EBS snapshots are stored in S3 but not in a user-visible bucket.
To view your snapshots use the AWS api or they are in the EC2/Snapshots tab of the AWS Console. Something like: https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/home?region=us-east-1#s=Snapshots, depending on your region.
