Seems like they can only charge what they do because of under-utilization, where cryptocurrency usage can max out a VPS 24/7?

If you're not mining the only time you have heavy utilization is initial block download -- keeping a node in sync on Bitcoin, Monero, etc. is very much not resource intensive.
The other FOSS services I host are usually more resource intensive than any of the Bitcoin and Monero nodes once they've done the initial sync.
Plus, if you're paying for something and can't use it because you're using it too well, that's... insane?

Yeah agreed, I guess I don't understand what other rationale they would have to ostracize customers like that.
