ultimately, though, somebody has to own, house and run those mainframes, so it's just abstracting the work away to some other group of people. lots of people made careers out of running mainframes and minicomputers in the 1955-1985 time frame. in the case of things like aws, azure, etc, it's just a lot more centralized in a smaller number of gargantuan companies.
