AWS is a boy scout compared to places like DigitalOcean, OVHcloud, ColoCrossing, Scaleway, Tencent, or even Google. I think DigitalOcean, in particular, has made a terrible mistake marketing to the “cybersecurity” community.
In fact (if you read the post) I mention blocking "some small hosting providers as a proof of concept": that would be DigitalOcean, for the reason you state.
