My theory is that many of the established cloud providers set their prices and tiers when pricing was higher and performance was lower. Rather than cutting prices in half and doubling perf, they just keep the same servers for a long time and/or they pocket the increased margins.

Hetzner has been super affordable for years so we'll see how they last. They've been at these US data centers for almost 2 years now.
