What's the point though? A 3rd party (kuyun) still has full control over it. No different that doing it on AWS except that you pay in Monero. This is not good for the network since again one party has control and is being payed to host them.
I'd posit that it is good for the network. Decentralization means running on all number of hosting providers from AWS, OHV, and Linode to smaller providers like KYUN and, perhaps most importantly, home servers.
But the hosting providers have physical access. You don't. They have controll you don't. You can't argue decentralization if all the nodes are owned by a couple of hosting providers.
All nodes aren't owned by a couple of hosting providers, but the plethora of hosting providers can contribute to decentralization.

Yep, that's the Wikipedia entry for decentralization. I've done some work editing the Monero entry.
Decentralization means we need people running monerod on their phones, laptops, at their homes, and in data centers.
