In particular, the 'bulletproof hosting' market is still going strong. For example, just look at The Pirate Bay, who have managed to stay online and operational despite years of attempts by powerful corporations and nation states to take it down.
(obligatory disclaimer that I don't use 8chan, and that from the outside it seems like an horrible place)
I can agree that getting up and running is, probably, always possible. But that is no consolation if you're a business that can arbitrarily be shut down on a whim, perhaps without even being given a warning. The financial circumstances might make restarting or moving around untenable.

Yes, and if there's anything good to say about this mess, it's that this particular kind of service is likely to grow.
I agree, and don't feel upset about their particular circumstances.
However, as others have noted, Twitter (moving to AWS) has vastly more controversial content. What are the guidelines as far as what content is tolerable and/or needs to been moderated, and at what rate of "urgency", for them versus Parler? These things aren't spelled out. How can a small business comply?
Until two days ago, being booted from your hosting provider for ideological disagreement was also quite the hypothetical.
Including against similarly far-right sites, e.g. Stormfront, Gab, 8kun/8chan, etc. All of which are still operational, after changing hosting providers.
