On-prem servers don't run themselves: there's hardware maintenance, depreciation, security, networking, license renewals etc etc.
The typical customer I see who's moving from on-prem to cloud has a clear trigger/deadline in the form of hardware reaching EOL or licenses being up for renewal, and these aren't going away with COVID.
