As discussed elsewhere in this thread, investing in your own metal/ops is definitely a long term play, and some combination of "focus on your actual differentiators" and "why bother when one of those cloud providers will acquire us eventually and we'll just have to migrate to them at that point anyway" could be a compelling case.
