No I don't really need it, that's why I found that after seven months.
This afternoon there was a networking outage in Linode Fremont impacted my website, so I clicked several links on Linode website and noticed that.
What disappointed me is that Linode can suspend referral program without notice or giving appeal while still benefiting from traffic, every day our website delivers 150K to 200K impressions of Linode logo.
And that's worth quite a lot, given Amazon's bandwidth is expensive. The 2tb in the Linode $10 account will run you about $200 with Amazon. Doubtful anyone is burning 2tb on a $10 account, and I'm sure Linode has that in mind, but even if you're using 200gb of bandwidth that would still cost you over $20.
Pricing plans for Amazon also include the best security and interconnects bar none, fastest access to the wide array of AWS and AWS hosted services and an ecosystem of tools and apps.
And of course Amazon has transparent disclosure for outages and security issues unlike say Linode.

It is one of the definitions of edge computing, any comments?
