I would like to add, that even for small teams/projects the cost is the reason. We have small business project, with only one server, few hundred customers, with varying traffic (database sync between thick clients, web portal,..). We were considering cloud, but with the features we needed (few different databases, few APIs,..) it would be cca $1000/month (with reasonable response times - could be cheaper but terribly slow). Having our own on premise server, the price is back just after few months and then just the minimal cost of connectivity, energy and occasional maintenance.. it just didn't make any sense for us to choose cloud.
