>There's no reason why it couldn't be running yet another program to manage all this Yes there is - that program would need to be extremely hardened (even against DDOS style attacks - run a ton of memory-consuming cycle-hogs on a service's platform), integrated with tracking & billing, and open-source (or itself charging). I just don't see the incentive for someone building this, and then I doubly don't see the incentive for a corp running this. Why take on this huge extra burden of infra to help derivative services? It's not going to make you money.
