If your scale is small (you're in the 'two people in a garage' phase of your company), then the cost of having your own server is small, even though you waste most of it. Hetzner will rent you a real physical server with an x86 processor and 32 GB of RAM for about 40 euros a month. I'm sure you can get smaller virtual servers elsewhere for less.
If your scale is large, you have enough work to make full use of however many servers you rent.
Reducing infrastructure waste at small scale seems pointless to me. The actual cash money saving is just lost in the noise.
The only way i can see that i could be wrong is if there's a suppressed demand for huge numbers of tiny-scale services. Is there?
