"4 years in the cloud space"

Hetzner has existed for a really long time, I'm not even sure what "cloud" means in your context.

Object storage and VMs is what made AWS "cloud" 15 years ago, so by that definition Hetzner only just became a cloud provider.

I mean since they started marketing themselves as a cloud vendor and selling cloud instances, instead of just a dedicated server vendor.

"cloud instances"; like a VPS?

Yes, they are VPSs

But the more important point was that they started branding themselves as a cloud vendor 4 years ago, and investing in new offerings around that pitch, but it’s taking them far too long to release basic parts of the offering, and they’re falling behind.
