I hear you, and I hope to see these applications arrive in both cloud and on-prem versions, perhaps from different origins/vendors. That signals the software ecosystem is strong, vigorous and robustly healthy enough to support many different solution angles. Let users choose what best fits their needs, and let the diversity seed further innovation in a virtuous spiral.
I sometimes muse if on-prem will get a second look as containerization, self-hosted AWS Lambda-like microservices, and similar advances become more mainstream on servers, and we'll see more hybrid solution ecosystems evolve. I strongly suspect we will look back in decades hence and lament that governments are Why We Can't Have Nice Things In The Cloud; while the US has been particularly egregiously public, we shouldn't be surprised at other nation state actor reveals in the future, either. If I'm on point about that, then we'll probably see hybrid cloud+on-prem (COP?) instead of an overwhelming dominance of one or the other for the near future at least.
