Different markets, different business models.
DO isn't going after large businesses. A startup could get traction on DO and then migrate to something like AWS when they need more flexibility but will have larger costs.
If DO started to offer things like load balancers, managed DBs as a service (similar to DynamoDB and RDS), and Storage (S3). That could change their business quickly. Somewhere between Heroku on AWS is the sweet spot IMO. Heroku is $$$ and very little to no flexibility and AWS almost has too many services now with no focus.
