That's the hard part about tools like this. They're too simple to be used for anything important, and as soon as the creator follows that path you end up in a situation where it's too simple for anything complex and too complex for anything simple.
Amazing platforms like Glitch ran into this problem.
(Some did pull it off! Like how Vercel built a kingdom out of `now`.)
The more complex the more fragile. The simpler the solution the more robust. This, I feel, is an overall truth to software development. And simpler solutions, as far as I know, are usually the more useful ones.
Not necessarily! Linux is incredibly complex. AWS is incredibly complex. Next is incredibly complex. GitHub is incredibly complex.
We need simple tools and we need complex tools. It's the middle ground that's hard to navigate.
Solvable with reasonable defaults and putting most things behind an advanced section?
no, it's just not solvable... you can only mitigate
anything hosted free will inevitably be abused by scammers, you need constant vigilance just to stay a step ahead

Watch out, good hackers find those words incredibly motivating.
