The problem these PaaS providers face is that http (and even https with
SNI) allow you to route incoming requests by hostname on a single IP
address.

Other TCP services (generally) do not allow this, forcing the provider to
give you a unique IP address. This is relatively straightforward for
someone like Amazon who have several /15s available to them (131k IP
addresses each), but much more complicated for other PaaS providers.
