Honestly why should they?
They're very clear about their billing policy and pricing, the only reason they might is good PR/karma from yc posting...

- rob_c 4y agoThat's directly akin to getting the good stuff until you're hooked... Throw away the account, rent a bare metal server or even a self hosted vm if that's too expensive and you have far more freedom to learn things and do it properly.
- Komodai 4y agoI deleted the account right after I got that waived. And I do have a server (or well two, lol)
