It reminds me of people who pay through the nose for cloud. They've done the spreadsheets and DIYing servers and infrastructure and hiring the people required to administrate it often comes out as more expensive. It's much worse for companies that are not tech companies with lots of in-house IT experience. They often lack the institutional expertise to even hire the right people to manage a DIY infrastructure. So it makes perfect sense to outsource to AWS and pay what seem like very high costs. You're not really buying the compute. You're buying the management.
