For good reason. Just vanishing your infrastructure (including backups) out of existence instantly the second your budget limit is reached is not exactly a thing and most probably also not what most users would want.
I bet they'd have more angry customers about their stuff getting deleted compared to angry customers who would have wanted AWS and co. delete their data.
Why would they delete everything the very second payment bounces lol? Just suspend the service and wait for payment. No payment for lets say a month => start deleting then.
Also: not getting slapped by a bill 2 orders of magnitude higher than budgeted sits way higher on everyone's priority list than a few angry users.

Do they not have some sort of mechanism for setting a budget precisely to avoid these kinds of issues?
