Cloud is not just virtualized compute, storage and network (csn) anymore. Most of the services in AWS/GCP offer a lot more than just virtualized csn. I dont think, the article factors in the cost of running a service. Its one thing to rent csn and run your own database. Its completely another to use a cloud service like dynamodb/bigtable etc. I agree, opex cost can go haywire, unless kept in check. But, its not an apples to apple comparison.
