I see where you're coming from. I've also had a bad experience with DO (CC arbitrarily blocked them which ended up with my droplets getting terminated and all data and backups wiped). That was at least as much an error on my part, though.

It does seem that they're unfortunately borrowing the playbook from AWS/Azure/GCP wrt over-automization as they scale. More old-school support could have been their differentiator, but it seems they're going for growth. They're getting close to the razor's edge.
