Why Heroku and AWS have failed to serve modern developers?

Heroku Vs. AWS remains a long and persistent debate among developers. Both platforms have strengths and weaknesses. Over the last 10 years, Heroku and AWS played a huge role in the cloud hosting and software development industry, by significantly unlocking productivity in a way that it has never been reached before. They are the platforms behind most of the successes from the last decade. However, we are in 2022 and it still looks like if we (developers) were in 2010 to deploy our apps in the cloud.
