Because their whole business case is based on sharing one CPU among many droplets.

No they do not, and all VPS providers that sell cheap virtual machines typically don’t either. You need to buy dedicated resources. Some will kill your vm, some will terminate your account and you loose the money you have spent on purchasing stuff. ---
