Someone told me some years ago that it was "impossible" for Google to apply an upper usage caps due to technical design reasons which I found absurd. You can build a globally distributed continent-scale SQL database with consistency guarantees, but you can't stop me paying more than X USD when my usage ticks over that? Huh?
It smelt much more to me like Google's business model made it impossible to stop customers spending money, not their engineering.
I voted with my wallet.
