HN uses this reasoning all the time. For example, "I don't know how to use language x, so language x sucks for sysadmins" or "I don't know how to use language x, so it is too slow"
While I must admit that the title of the post may seem too flashy, the main point I'm trying to make is not 'omg, the quotas are too low for this price', but rather: 'based on this experiment, Azure has given me too much trouble and hidden gotchas to consider it for small or middle-scale websites in the nearest future.'. Not notifying the user about pulling the plug on the website, or hiding a DB quota so deep in the documentation would not make a customer too happy. And while I've worked on (mostly non-Azure) cloud solutions for a couple of years and I'm prepared to read the fine print, I'm scared to imagine how a cloud newbie would feel about this.
