> It preys on inexperienced engineers

For a weekend/side project that needs db and storage, why would I spend days correctly setting up, securing, and provisioning all my infra when I could just pay a little extra and never worry about it?

When creating a new project I wear all hats. Project management, UX/UI designing, Frontend, Backend, Infra, User testing, security.

Having to maintain multiple projects that all bring income in as a solo developer wearing all the hats is very time consuming, this is an absolute godsend and I'll pay for the DX happily.
