As far as I can tell AWS Cloud requires more expertise to run properly then hardware, but comes with the benefit of more flexibility and availability of various not too hard to integrate services. In a certain way that's the big failure of AWS and similar, in another way it's a big win for them as it means people will pay more then necessary all the time and there is a huge consultant industry pushing people to adapt AWS (and similar) to then charge them for consulting later on. Through this kind of patterns tend to fall apart at some point and only hold up for a while due to monopolistic market dynamics around server centers due to their high cost and locality concerns of customers.
