with a good hosted option (atlas).

You can always find pain points and issues in a lot of things (if you look hard enough). Unless there are no users I doubt any platform doesn't have blogs / articles with a list of complaints with people migrating away (this would have resulted in a monopoly).

It's a balancing act.

I did say it was a good hosted option - not the best but at least decent. There are definitely a lot of worse options out there.

These stories are always short sighted or only paint part of a picture. Years later (there may be no followup post) but they may have a different list of complaints from self-hosting. It never stops, does it?
