Yes. But I think in a sense, they're also somewhat handcuffed by the industry. Talent wants to work "in the cloud", and if you don't offer that you restrict your talent pool significantly. A big part of creating a desirable workplace is creating one in which people want to be hired into and in tech that really just means "the latest tech" regardless of it being a good idea or not. I think it's also part of the reason we're doing so little with so much in terms of efficient software. "The latest tech" also just means huge abstraction layers which eat up tons of compute but offer only easier development at the cost of much more expensive O&M. It's honestly part of the drive to the cloud as well as what we used to do on a few boxes with software written in C or a mainframe is now a scalable cloud architecture running mostly Python or some such.
