I wouldn't say that... there are a LOT of sites that operate at under $1k/month spend. If you lose 10k customers for one big fish, is it worth it? I know it's not apples to apples, but still can really matter. And just maybe it's not worth supporting a bigger player in that case altogether.

And for the bigger fish, if it's me, I'm one to push for complete containerization and orchestration beyond simple DBAS service for PostgreSQL, depending on needs for scale. Which absolutely means switching can be easy enough.

The only advantage the big cloud providers have is the services for the lower-middle tier customers.
