Everything you say can be vice-versa said and will apply too (or if it does not apply, it's a subjective IMHO).

A restaurant has an interest in keeping customers happy, and keep recurring customers growing.

I would also expect, that the average cloud user made a mistake a professional should not have made and is now trying to get out of it the easy way. I mean, what do you expect if you post your credentials to GitHub (just an assumption)? Same as if you order wine without looking at the price. Your fault.

Also, a single bottle of 200$ is minuscule compared to the monthly/yearly renting fee a restaurant needs to pay, which can be many thousands.

Long story short: IMHO it all comes down to how good one can tell that it's really a mistake and there were multiple mistakes which could hardly be avoided which lead to this issue.
