Depends on the org. Highly regulated places like self hosting because keeping data within your own network removes a lot of the legwork for corporate acquisitions processes. If you run a SASS and a regulated business wants to use you, they need to process a whole slew of items: 1. Compliance - are you PCI/SOC/HIPPA compliant? When was your last audit? What were the results? 2. Legal - contracts, business continuity clauses, indemnity, liability around data, etc 3. Security - when was your last penetration test? Do you have a security team? What is your security posture? The list goes on and there is overlap between different corporate concerns. Keeping things on-prem removes many requirements in exchange for taking on the maintainable burden of a product.
