I've worked at companies doing $2B in profits that had multi-month arguments about $100k on-prem production server refreshes due to more customers doing more transactions. And yet I've been at companies 80% smaller/poorer who didn't notice $60k development environment costs because they were blended into a gigantic AWS bill. The incentives are very very bad.
