I worked with a DO on an technical issue, and they were steadfastly against me granting them temporary access to our servers even though it would have made the issue easier to diagnose. Cloud provider that verifiably get caught doing this will quickly lose the trust of all their large customers
Reading through that second one, while the inciting incident was certainly pretty bad, their eventual response was, to my mind, all that could be hoped from a company in this day and age:

I'd say that speaks volumes in DigitalOcean's favour.
