Ask HN: Why is Linode way more expensive:D?

I am comparing cloud providers (other than big tech ones AWS, Google, etc.) and I don't understand why is Linode is way expensive than the EU cloud providers.

I am benchmarking the closest dedicated server option to this • 2 CPU cores • 4GB RAM • 96 SSD • 4 TB transfer

Linode: $36, 2 cores, 4 GB RAM, 80 GB SSD, 4 TB transfer limit, 40/4 Gbps

Hetzner: 45 euro, 6 cores, 64 GB RAM, 1 TB ssd, 20TB, 1GBit

OVHCloud: £50, 6 cores, 32 RAM, 1TB SSD, unmetered, 1GBit

Scalaway: 40 euro, 4 cores, 32 GB RAM, 750GB SSD, unlimited, 300Mbps

Seems that EU cloud providers provide much better value for money, but I don't see why is it the case.
