They have a conflict of interest between the groups.
The "Cloud/AI" group wants to sell the new buzzword products.
The "Infrastructure Group" wants to sell the low innovation commoditized services and products.
The sales people from both groups would be telling opposite stories on why you should go with them for your IT needs. So it is easier to split them up and let them compete in the market rather than compete internally . And it probably makes both markets bigger in the long run because they can focus and expand.

If you can move everything to the cloud and it's managed for you, you don't really need IT services anymore.
