IF we want to take them at face-value that this is because of fraud and abuse (a trust/respect they have not earned IMHO, or rather they lost many years ago) then this a case of throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Otherwise it's some stupid MBA finding a way to save some money which will ultimately only speed up Heroku's demise.
Either way the writing is on the wall. The Heroku that delighted us all is long dead and the product is on life support at this point to eek some more money from people who haven't already moved on to greener pastures. It's really say to be honest, Heroku felt like magic and was amazing for a number of years and then just stopped being relevant, coasted, and hemorrhaged talent.
The downfall started before Salesforce IIRC but at this point it's clear the heart of Heroku is dead and gone.
I'm sure the other PaaS that have innovated, moved with the times (fly.io/render/etc) are popping bottles today at this news.
