Three ways of looking at this:

1. Maybe something about you is triggering their fraud system for step-up verification.

2. They might experience a lot of fraudulent (scammer) users, which is a net-negative for anyone who host there because ISP might black list that hosting providers IPs.

3. Maybe they are super serious and KYC all onboarding because they only what super vetted customers because that benefits everyone to have a “clean network” (basically the opposite of #2).

Given OVH super low pricing, my guess is #2.
