How is that a surprise? They quite literally have physical access to your VPS (even if not easily).
All the things you mentioned are simple metadata available via query.
If things went really sideways on one of my servers, and I could not manage to get back in (even with their 3-4 alternative methods), I fully expect DigitalOcean to be able to log in and restore access, and charge me for the privilege.
