This is probably the nicest answer. With things like kubernetes, hardware is quite abstracted. If it makes sense to use your own hardware, your software should be good enough to effortlessly shift some load to your own hardware and back incase own hardware can't handle a spike. Hybrids are probably the future where you rent when it makes sense, and buy when it makes sense and move compute and storage by dragging a slider.
