No, it's because it's an extraordinarily common fraud vector, and causes noisy neighbor problem because despite GP's remark about 'paying for resource usage', cloud providers don't actually anticipate anyone using 100% of CPU 24/7/365. And the folks who really are crypto mining are never going to pay their monthly invoice.

So you pay expecting full utilization but are expected to utilize on a fair-share basis only? And if I run my Monte Carlo simulation, which can take a week to complete, my instance is flagged for alleged crypto mining?

Unless that's exposed to the customer (AWS burstable instances are actually okay IMO), that sounds like the cloud provider committing fraud and hoping nobody calls their bluff.
