optimizing "random_page_cost" parameter

Today I red an article on Medium which claimed Postgres performance could be improved drasticially by optimizing the "random_page_cost" parameter for SSDs: https://medium.com/@rizqimulkisrc/the-hidden-postgresql-setting-that-doubled-query-speed-overnight-72803da1a13e

I saw that Neon did not use this optimization. Is there a reason?
