I think the driver is new deployments. If you're starting from scratch, you'll probably start with the cloud. New companies are created all the time and old companies tech ages out. I'm guessing when faced with a new deployment, the three main cloud vendors will be the road taken. Everything either starts or ages out at some time and is created.replaced with something new, and when that happens, its going to be in the cloud.
