Kris @isotopp goes into a very important issue here (in German):

Since "AI" has become the thing to do, no cloud platform is neutral anymore (they never fully were, try hosting warez there, but for your own content they mostly were): They all "need" (as in want) to use your work as training data for their neural networks - especially work that's not "on the web" to have some kind of competitive advantage. But that means that your tools no longer let you do what you want because they need to make sure what you do is suitable as training data (because nobody wants a news report saying "BIGCORP's AI creates another racism").

This is a significant shift in how cloud services, that many have relied on for the last years, position themselves and can be reliably used. But the answer isn't "host your own" for most because it's hard and expensive. But maybe we'll find solutions outside of big tech that isn't total shit while we weather the "AI" storm that is increasingly fucking up all hat's good about the web.
