A lot of customers find smaller providers very valuable. But the reason you see so many mentions of AWS/Azure/GCP is simply a reflection that yes, the bulk of hosted services in the world are based on those three. Yes the HN crowd might like the approach or thought of the smaller service providers, but they are much much smaller.
