Nothing really, they were on worse designs for years and they came to a point that it couldn’t scale, so they had to come up with a new proper design

I had the worst experience from a vps/dedicated hosting provider with OVH few years back, long story short I had a dedicated server with software raid, after a month, one of the disks failed I gave them all the details SN of the disk at fault etc, but apparently the removed the good disk and I lost the server, I asked them to put it back and they told me they had destroyed it, luckily I had backup. Lastly I asked for a refund they didn’t give anything back.

I moved to hetzner immediately, and I haven’t had such issues till today.

I know that you can’t expect much from cheap providers but OVH is extremely unprofessional in my experience.

I dont fully agree, as others noted by here, there are plenty of products that compete with others and co-exist, for example terraform.

There are some things though that I bet their customers are asking badly, take for example the Transit Gateway, one might thing that it is trying to put out the vendors that users use for their Transit VPC, for example Cisco, Fortinet, Palo alto to name a few, however, the Transit VPC is ugly, tough to maintain and cant scale, yes, the vendors make big money from licences for Transit VPC, but the need of a native service was there, the vendors will still sell licences, just not for Transit VPC, they will be able to focus on other parts that AWS dont prodive a lot.
