Possibly because (except for Leaseweb), they're all European and of limited usefulness as a result. Linode, Vultr, DO and AWS all have numerous regions around the world.

They're also typically leased for at least a full month and can't be spun up/down on demand like you can with these services.

Plus they focus on large (>16GB) dedicated servers.

It's also in the US, Germany, Hong Kong and Singapore: https://www.leaseweb.com/platform/data-centers

Oh wow. They must have expanded over the years then.
