Cloud and SaaS were good for a while because they took away the old sales-CTO pipeline that often saw a whole org suffering from one person's signature. But they also took away the benefits of a more formal evaluation process, and nowadays nobody knows how to do one.

At least on-prem if they picked the "wrong" DB / message bus / etc, you could quietly replicate to another stack internally as needed for your analytics needs. If your data is lodged in some SaaS product in AWS, good luck replicating that to GCP, Azure, or heaven forbid on-prem, without extortion level costs.
