Why go through that effort when they could just lie about site usage and say you incurred a bunch of traffic? Or make fake site "hits" from localhost?
It's really the trade-off for using any cloud host. You are implicitly trusting the host, their monitoring tools, their billing system, and their customer support when things go wrong
Both of those could be exposed via an audit or a whistleblower, either of which would destroy the company and its reputation overnight.
As opposed to just negligently allowing it from the outside?
Netlify still looks terrible here.
