I don't think the issue is a skill one but rather giving a sane option.

Going to Akamai's site I don't see a single mention of pricing, I don't want to be smooched by some enterprise salesman to get my pricing options.

Going to Fastly's site I see egress costs that makes me think I could probably be better of just staying on AWS,Azure or smth and have a single bill to care about. (That have their own expensive options).

There's probably other small players with sane options pricing wise, but when it comes to managing DDoS issues people want someone big to handle the bulk.
