As you can see, AWS is far from the only game in town. If you can't find two or three from that list that will meet your needs then perhaps you should reassess your quality metric.
(I note in passing that my preferred provider, Linode, is not even on that list.)
DO = Digital Ocean
Again, depending on your needs, VPS are not a commodity. GCP offers a few things that Azure or AWS don’t, etc...
Often times making sweeping generalizations without deep industry knowledge is a bad idea.
If you don’t even know what DO is, why do you feel experienced enough to argue?
Because I've been self-hosting my internet services on VPS's for the last 15 years on various providers. There are literally dozens of them. They are absolutely a commodity.
"Cloud" and "VPS" are not the same thing. VPS = Virtual Private Server, which is one very specific kind of cloud service. Cloud services in general are not a commodity, but VPS is.
