We're not married to DigitalOcean, but changing cloud providers also takes time and investment we'd rather spend elsewhere. And we'd still have to figure out what to do with the bare metal instances, container images and whatnot. The friction is very real.

you have to understand, why would digital ocean want to deal with this when they can use actual open source options without the overhead?

Because they might some day find themselves in a tight spot if all of those open source options have become a half-broken wasteland because nobody invests time/money.

being afraid of all free linux distros going away because no one invests in open source is some epic level FUD.

How exactly do you think those companies even came to exist again?
