DO is a budget provider. Their main hook was cheap SSDs, and is still cheap costs. They billable time it takes to wipe a VM adds to the cost. If you want the data zeroed... then pay for it, otherwise it must not be important enough.

It's relatively easy for them to post a point in a FAQ about why you're billed for x minutes after an instance is destroyed, and include the request params/headers to avoid it. On the other hand, it's effectively impossible to unleak an inadvertently leaked apple developer signing key because an unwitting customer didn't rtfm.
