There are 3 problems with that
1. Broadcom, if history is any indication, is about to make VMware much less of a bargain, likely exceeding the cost of the cloud, if not matching it.
2. Often time when a company moves to a cloud model, they lay off the traditional administration staff in favor of "DevOps", many many devops engineers would not have the first clue how to manage the low level infrastructure of Storage SAN, FiberChannel, vLAN's etc... let alone managing vSphere or hyperv, etc..
3. Often times when a company moves to a cloud model they decommission their Onprem Hardware, Lead times right now are crazy still so any org wanted to move to OnPrem quickly is going to be hard pressed to do so.

- phpisthebest 4y agoMicrosoft has stated many times they are "Cloud First" and hyperv development seems to be focused on Azure HyperV with limited features and improvements coming to OnPrem Hyperv, Hyperv for OnPrem still has ALOT of features missing even when comparied to linux based hypervisors let alone VMWare. It is also unclear what the long term path is for OnPrem Windows Server, many people believe in the next 5 years it will be replaced with some Variant of "Azure Stack" and will be billed on a subscription basis from hardware vendors, to Microsoft. The future is clear. Everything as a Service is coming for OnPrem, your network, storage, and hosts will all be some subscription model just like "cloud"
