Okay, but you’re making people ask for them because some won’t and you get to make massive profit from them. So, you don’t because it fits your bottom-line. It doesn’t matter that you _can_ give a discount but aren’t at all interested in making it happen in a way that doesn’t cause massive stress for customers, or aren’t interested in adding protections against this.
If you’re not going to provide an obvious solution you’re effectively doing it on purpose because you know it’s a common and increasing problem causing real issues but choose not to remedy it. At what point do people using Netlify get held ransom by DDOS entities lest they drop a massive bill on them?
It’s also a pretty obvious requirement for any cloud platform. AWS has it as a core feature. Netlify is not being honest about this whole thing because their books and stats inherently look better for investors if they don’t.
But it seems that their reputation for this stuff is catching up to them, and they’re not providing some service that can’t be readily replaced. So I hope that folks realize there shitty on purpose and don’t use them.
