It is. The big 3 can be crazily expensive and there are many use cases where you can happily go with a less features but more affordable option. Also traffic is generally way cheaper.

Out of interest, what's wrong with Hetzner's data center(s) in Germany?

GDPR, as UK has its own rules (maybe it would be okay as well, but our legal team has huge backlog and for now on-premises works just fine)

Pretty sure UK and EU is still near identical on this. Hasn't been much drift since brexit.

likes adblockers too. hates SF nimbyism.
I would (and will) jump on Hetzner as soon as they build datacenter in UK. Seems like amazing cloud alternative for companies that cannot justify prices of the big 3 (aws, gcp, azure).
