What do you find wrong with "this new world"? For context, I'm using their free offering for my home server, for 6-7 years now. Happy as a clam.

  It enables Oracle-like behavior. Once you're locked in as commercial user they can do whatever they want. Remember: Not all commercial users are FAANG rich. Counties/local municipalities count as commercial users, as an example.

    But in many cases, like Proxmox, there is nothing proprietary. What they provide is the glue, the polish, the interface that ties together the technologies they build on. If they began to be nasty, you can just leave (or even, continue to use it however long you like). In general, I don't think this is a threat. I think the problems begin with proprietary offerings, like they so often do in the cloud. Then's the time when vendor lock-in takes its toll. But even with AWS, if you stick to open interfaces, it's easy to leave.
