Problem is mostly that once you scale beyond the "look it says hello world" levels the price goes up so fast you can essentially pay someone to "make it cheaper by running it elsewhere" and still be better off. Most questions seem to revolve around a tiny part of the puzzle, or a small "just starting out" phase and completely forgets about the lifecycle of the business process that it is built for, and the existing systems it needs to interact with. Even a startup will have that problem considering most are trying to get bought which essentially means being absorbed into a legacy company. So even starting out with no legacy to worry about is just a stay of execution.
