While it sounds cynical... it doesn't strike me as 'wrong' entirely. It's a non-trivial problem, but until some service provides great tools to handle this, and makes the experience 10x better (to encourage more use/experimentation/etc), everyone will keep offering the same experience all around. If a service could automatically cut build times by, say, 70%, that's a lot of revenue they may lose from charging for the build time. They could raise the price, or hope that enough new people get onboard to make up the loss... ?
