Certainly clouds can be managed/micromanaged to an inordinately convenient degree, but to contend that can be a perfectly secure and exclusive gig provided by one favoured party, to the exclusion and detriment of all others, is not anything that real experience can endorse and support, because of what one then discovers is on offer just for the free taking.
The advantages and benefits which are delivered with such are/can be just too great a temptation with unparalleled reward to expect mere mortals and pirates and daemons to resist without sugaring that bitter pill.
The best that one can surely only hope to do is to make it very attractive, as in lucrative and extremely rewarding, for competent cloud managers/micromanagers to play nice and not misuse or abuse their intimate knowledge of systems processes/performance triggers/crash levers.
