But it does and it will take away an amount of sovereignty. "Excuse me AWS, Can you send me every hard drive used in the storage of Dataset X? Not copies, the original drives. I need to destroy all the drives per regulations." GDPR muddies the waters too. If AWS is the cause of a fuck up and a bucket is accessible on the internet, good luck proving your company shouldn't be saddled with the GDPR fine. AWS will have the technical means, monetary incentive and reputational impunity to claim it was your own fault. Then there is the fact that a decade on the numbers are in; Cloud isn't any cheaper at the scale of most established businesses AWS wants to court. Often it's more expensive. None of this will actually slow adoption. It probably should, but it won't.
