No, they don’t, the article is misleading if not technically wrong (since they use “and/or” to link billing caps and better whole-project deletion, the latter of which mitigates a subset of the problem but doesn’t address accidental unbounded spend from a project that you want active at some level) and the same general class of complaint is raised for the other clouds on this issue; the frequency of the complaints seems to vary (ordinally, but not linearly) with usage of the various clouds.
