I am one of those customers who almost never uses the images
offered by the hoster whereever this is possible. Guilty as
charged, your honor.

As soon as you start depending on multiple providers to spread out
the risk for your workloads, it almost becomes a necessity to bring
your own images if you want to be able to build consistent systems
across disparate providers. Even if they haven't unnecessarily
tampered with official distro images themselves, there's no
guarantee that the Debian images they offer are for the same point
releases/snapshot dates and so on.
