There's a lot of other businesses that blindly do cloud for no good reason at all. I calculated the forecast of aws vs own infrastructure (aws is what was being used) for an ML company doing major compute backfills. I did that at the height of the GPU price craze and the whole move would have still amortized itself after just 6 months. Why people stick to aws for that sort of stuff is beyond me. If you ever need to spin up VMs on aws rather than on your own metal, you can always do it then. It boggles the mind that people want to throw away millions to get worse performance and higher error rates.
