What I'm concerned about, as a developer, is the collateral damage such ham-fisted regulation might cause. Each cloud-native evolution is about using the hardware more efficiently. Admittedly, it's a developer focussed argument, but there are more technical arguments against the move. I've read the report. Not that I found.
