>How does DO get out of this spot?
What if they package the available open source versions of AWS and GCP services and allow people to move off amazon and google? Have DO as one region and at first sell it as a backup. Then, make it enticing for people to scale it up so that they shift some work over.
DO could become the place where people can run infrastructure that mixes AWS and GCP. After some acquisitions, companies will have services in both worlds. Why not unite them in one place?
