I wonder if companies using tech will go back to preferring CapEx as opposed to high OpEx. Back to buying perpetual licenses that will be renewed when it is worth it instead or because you'll lose access to the product. Partially back to raw hardware or VMs hosted at not one of the usual suspects instead of suboptimal cloud implementations that sometimes resort to expensive VMs anyway because it was implemented by cheap outsourced labor rather than subject matter experts.
