I'm not sure about that. We see professional developers complaining all the time when their AWS or GitHub account is banned. But this time we're talking about vibe coders who have less skills than the average developer.
I believe that is largely their employers' decision. It is easy to switch, but it is the boss who makes that decision, not the tech-literate team. Bosses like big well-known companies that can absorb blame so they can continue to cash their big pay checks even after failures that were clearly the fault of the 3rd party that no other bosses could blame them for choosing.
