I answered your feedback submission, but in case anyone else comes across this question I'll also answer it here.

Firstly, you mean "launch, destroy" not "start, stop" - A stopped instance is a state of an EBS backed instance, and cannot be unregistered from the Hub (otherwise the user would still be paying for storage and no know about it).

Anyway, the AWS console displays terminated (destroyed) instances until a timeout is reached, which is usually a couple of minutes. OTOH, the Hub will display terminated (destroyed) instances if you check the option to keep them around when terminating, providing the option to "launch another like this one".
