As much as this happens, I don't feel it's something to be expected or even okay.
The major cloud services are expensive. This extra cost is supposed to provide for cloud services' high level of flexibility. Running out of capacity should be a rare event and treated as a high priority problem to be fixed asap.
Without the ability to rapidly and arbitrarily scale, they're just overpriced server farms.
A big thing I think is left out is how deeply personally invested people get in the language(s) and tool(s) they use. Technical discussions around those things become perceived as personal attacks and reasonable discussion is impossible.
The GDPR covers tracking of users, but is much more broad in scope. Simply not tracking users doesn't stop the GDPR from applying.
The GDPR provides a framework by which bad actors can do their thing legally without too much trouble. To a good actor, who only stores the data they actually need and doesn't track users, the GDPR still applies and is just as big a pain in the ass.
