Owning your servers works best if your load is stable and predictable.
If you make a mobile game that becomes an overnight success and your DAU goes from 10k to 1M you need the capacity TO-DAY. Not in a week or two when you can get more servers to the colocation facility your stuff is in and get them configured and added to the cluster.
If your stuff is built on AWS, it'll just scale up automatically and most likely nobody notices except for your AWS bill - but the revenue from the game will more than make up for it.
