EUR/USD went way down those last years so Europe is becoming a low cost area.
As well, I don't know about DigitalOcean but with Online there is some basic services they don't provided.
For example it drove me mad that you can't just move a server to an other account or change the account owner with online. I've never been stuck with the dozens of other hosting company I've been working with to move a server.

I would imagine that intrinsically the costs of buying/renting an X number of CPU cores and Y gigs of RAM just has a certain cost and therefore the price of VPS's just have to be at a certain minimum level. I guess Scaleway is just closer to that edge, but being about twice as cheap as DO (which is quite big and popular) just makes me question the long-term viability of these prices.
