I think its a perfect example that cloud providers are profiting on a unsustainable scheme. They rely on their services papering over (literally with money) lack of skill/knowlege of their customers. This tactic either kills the customer or creates someone that is desperate to no longer be your customer.

People are getting dumber by the hour. It's sustainable.
When I design computing systems, I am like "what's the point?", if there is nobody with a brain around to maintain it. The cloud allows companies to have services they could never ever maintain themselves long after I am dead.
We are going full Idiocracy from what I can tell.
You sound way too optimistic, but I am guessing you are still young.
> I was doing some contract work for a small place that had a GCP Bigtable that was costing $11k+ per month for some reports that were based on data from a 375MB !!! mysql db into big-table for the reports to run.
Is a good example. It's just a badly architected system, and you'd have exactly the same problem if you were running the same thing on a massively over provisioned on premise db.
