One of the core value propositions of Linode/DigitalOcean is exactly this – reduce complexity but that also comes with reduced flexibilty and features. The fact that Linode/DigitalOcean exists and relies on this core tenant is a testament to quite the reverse: AWS/GCP/Azure are complex to meet the needs of their customers or they wouldn't allow Linode/DigitalOcean to exist and consequently absorb their customers. They both co-exist on the axis of complexity. In some ways, it is a loose proof/evidence that AWS/GCP/Azure is complex to serve their customers, not because of incompetence or some other reason.
