I mean, you _can_ host your staging environment on a Minisforum PC hidden in your closet and then deploy to Hetzner, and probably save a _ton_ unless your service benefits from things like, say, autoscaling or global low-latency access. Niches where you can get away with that are limited, not just by technical challenges but because large parts of the social ecosystem of IT won't like that. But they do exist. There's also still things that aren't webapps _at all_, there's software that has to run without internet access. It's all far apart and often requires specialized knowledge, but it exists.
