They're not shutting down or winding down. I am guessing that they hired a lot of people to start building an AWS competitor which is a steep battle (even with funding) and goes against the grain of DO philosophy - keep things simple and target DO for small-medium businesses (sub-100 employees). Investors went into DO thinking of a AWS/GCP/Azure unicorn, but after 6 years it appears to be a small rainbow pony than an almighty unicorn. This restructuring appears to be a realization of what happened with that vision and how it panned out, I may be wrong though. I personally love DO, I don't want to deal with AWS complexity for basic needs. Minimalism and simplicity certainly has value.
