These hosting companies are already doing enough things "wrong" that if "well, everybody just stop using them" were going to be a viable strategy it would have worked by now for those other things.

We currently do not have the power to change the behavior or the market share of these hosting companies in any significant way. That leaves working around their behavior as the option.

Who said anything about doing it to change their behaviour? Do it because you aren't getting value for money! If there are better alternatives, then use them.
