the parent comment refers to them being horrible before SOPA
Ok, maybe it's more to do with stuff like their CEO gunning down elephant's - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/03/31/bob-parsons-godaddy...

that's quite bad for the company reputation, but I still don't see any argumentation for they were horrible before SOPA
Just because a company is technically competent doesn't mean people want to do business with them.
I have a feeling that the Godaddy portions of those charts are getting much lower by the minute.
The exodus away from GoDaddy stopped as soon as they reversed their support of SOPA.
Mind blown that: -Some ~40% (stupid pie chart) don't have an SSL cert, but almost all have login/registration page (4 out of 4 that I randomly picked had a login/registration page) -So many people use GoDaddy as a registrar (they were horrible before SOPA) -That startups use AWS despite its poor cost/performance
what's horrible about GoDaddy? I used them for domain registration and DNS hosting, and everything went smoothly. The only annoying part, is how they try to sell additional goodies along the domain registration. the front page ladies weren't too much of disturbance either :)
The reasons why people don't like GoDaddy are covered in both of the previous discussions on this report. Well worth reading!

The profiler doesn't seem to take HTTP redirects into consideration, incorrectly reporting the web host and SSL details for Vidyard, though I'm sure for a few others too.
I've been working on updating the profile to determine the host based on where the HTML is ultimately served from, along with some pretty substantial changes in host detection heuristics. These are non-trivial changes. I was hoping to have them done in time for this report, but tradition dictated that I produce this report now.

That's because you're probably looking at things purely from a technical/operational perspective (i.e. can they register my domain easily), whereas the parent commenter is taking into account more general reports about the way GoDaddy does business. Just because a company is technically competent doesn't mean people want to do business with them.

Are PaaS providers like Heroku appearing as "Amazon" in the web host column? Would be interesting to see this broken down further if that's the case.
In the meantime, you can see who's using Heroku by looking for domains that have an SSL certificate with a certificate type of "*.heroku.com"
