There’s no bias per-se. DigitalOcean is recommended for newcomers as it keeps the learning curve shallow. If you opt for a more complex environment then in turn you accept the added complexity it introduces, that’s all.

All of these providers scale pretty well. It really depends on the specific community and their rate of growth as to the best fit.
