There is definitely a bias here, but it's a bias towards very large companies. They almost all have this exact same problem. The company I work for consults with something like 2/3rds of the Fortune 500 companies and almost every one of them suffer from these challenges. Of the companies I've worked with who seem to have their shit together and are on top of everything, almost every one of them had fewer than 100 employees. That type of company, by necessity, is run very differently than a company with 100k+ employees.
It may be helpful to not think of a company with 100k employees as one company. It's really multiple large companies with competing priorities who still want to be able to realize efficiencies of scale across the board. You've got different cultures and different processes across all of them. Yet you don't want each of them to be adopting "the cloud" in wildly different ways. You need consistence in governance and guard rails which cut across all of the orgs or your costs and complexity are going to be all over the place. You'll have orgs spinning up their resources in different cloud vendors which will greatly hurt your opportunities for the cost savings which come from real volume.
