My current company is on prem. The reason is cost. Our workload requires lots of big machines, and is fairly inelastic. When we do need more machines, we know months ahead of time. We recently just started the process of refreshing all the hardware. We looked at cloud again just to cover our bases. It is still cheaper to lease the hardware and pay for colo and a couple of people to manage the hardware, then to pay for the cloud.
