I think your line of thinking is rooted in the assumptions that these cloud services use the fact that they don't do what you describe as a ploy to make more money. Instead it's that they choose to invest in other kinds of functionality; while the concepts you describe are certainly possible to build, they are specifically demanded by a narrow subset of the market which makes them difficult to prioritize |

I'll simply use services that fall more in line with what i want and i urge others to do the same, to better suit their needs and avoid the possibility of some very unpleasant financial circumstances down the road, at least as far as personal projects are concerned. Hence the list of some lovely providers in the post above.
They'll simply continue to work with their current approaches to billing, missing out on the 0.01% (read: humorous made up figure to not create the impression that i believe that huge platforms should work like i expect them to, my ego isn't that huge) or so of additional income that they'd get by catering to all of the people like me in the world. That's the beauty of a (mostly) free market - supply and demand.
