Why on earth would your cloud provider dictate your front end stack? My mind is in tatters trying to understand this thought process.

Because they have these things called SDKs to extend their product, for specific programing languages.

Frontend stacks are also backend stacks in cloud products.

Because with Next.js, Vercel was able to turn the frontend stack into also a really shitty backend stack. And it's particularly shitty at being deployed, so they're in the business of doing that for you.
