In my experience, companies seem to want to pay the cloud provider tax in order to avoid capacity planning. Sometimes it makes sense because it is hard to predict when something is going to take off. I have also worked at companies with very predictable growth paying insane amounts. I didn’t understand the logic, but they still were profitable and paid well so whatever.
