Ah the classic anti-cloud post that pretends to understand everyone's use cases and economics. You realize that everyone knows how expensive this stuff is. You realize that people plan and model growth around these figures. You realize that despite all of this, many people still go with cloud solutions because they get other benefits.
I mean ffs, I would be laughed out of the room if I went to my investors and said we were putting everything in a datacenter. The historical statistics are that datacenters are far more likely to be a risk to the business than AWS is. It's as simple as that.
Out of curiosity, do you really think that operating cost is the only metric that matters from a business standpoint?
