Hetzner/OVH are HN darlings not because of how innovative they are in features, but in pricing.
They tend to show up as submissions mostly when something bad happens (e.g. price increase), but they still show up in comments a lot when people discuss how comically expensive cloud providers are in a direct comparison and how you can be similarly effective running on such pricing-focused hosts, especially if you know how to build the redundancy yourself (or don't need it).
