There's a disconnect between founders and everyone else.
Founders believe they're going to >10x every year.
Reality is that they're 90% likely to fail.
90% of the time - you're fine failing on whatever.
Some % of the 10% of the time you succeed you're still fine without the cloud - at least for several years of success, plenty of time to switch if ever necessary.

Out of all the problems that arise from 10x-ing your organisation every year, this is a really minor one.
