You could say that cloud companies exploit company dysfunction. That engineering is usually not incentivized (until too late) to keep costs down is the key to this whole mess.
I've seen the pendulum swing the other way, too. At former large employers, I've had to cobble together (shadow IT) servers from discarded equipment because the process of getting cloud boxes allocated was so onerous.

Like every large software vendor, yes, it's moderately profitable to produce good software and sell it but it is much, much more profitable to abuse bad procurement practice. Shadow IT is a sad state of affairs but at least it builds the skills and culture to economise on computing cost.
