Pass a law requiring cloud compute providers to accept a maximum user budget and be unable to charge more than that, and see how quickly the big cloud providers figure it out.

So tell me again who we need a law? Can you cite one instance where any of the cloud providers refused to give a refund to someone?
The person who signs up for the free tier and is charged.

There is no such thing as “signing up for a free tier” at least there wasn’t before July of this year. Some services have free tiers for a certain amount of time and others have an unlimited free tier that resets every month.
