Also, fwiw, you can curtail wind turbines incredibly quickly. They're the quickest moving assets on an electrical grid typically. So you are using them to balance the grid quite often. You can just pitch the blades a bit and they slow or stop. it's not really a tech problem, but a financial one like you said.

I'm not sure much about solar curtailment, other than the fact that they receive curtailment requests and comply quite quickly as well.

Wind turbines like solar and BESSs are inverter-based resources (IBRs), so any of them can curtail quickly.

Here in the EU, the DC-AC transformers are mandated to shut down if the grid frequency is out of bounds.
