I mean basic features like auto scale and create new resources.

The most basic thing with a load balancer and scale instances behind that.

They don't have any of that.

They have load balancers, and while they don't have an auto scale feature they do have APIs for starting instances and configuring the load balancer. So it's not that difficult to build your own auto scaling

As compared to a "traditional" offering where there's only a manual order form and getting a new server might take hours, making auto-scaling unfeasible

Autoscaling based on CPU usage has been the most basic thing in the last 15 years. Are you really asking people to build that?
