This seems like an insane stance to have, it's like saying businesses should ship their own stock, using their own drivers, and their in-house made cars and planes and in-house trained pilots.
Heck, why stop at having servers on-site? Cast your own silicon waffers, after all you don't want spectrum exploits.
Because you are worst at it. If a specialist is this bad, and the market is fully open, then it's because the problem is hard.
AWS has fewer outages in one zone alone than the best self-hosted institutions, your facebooks and petagons. In-house servers would lead to an insane amount of outage.
And guess what? AWS (and all other IAAS providers) will beg you to use multiple region because of this. The team/person that has millions of dollars a day staked on a single AWS region is an idiot and could not be entrusted to order a gaming PC from newegg, let alone run an in-house datacenter.
edit: I will add that AWS specifically is meh and I wouldn't use it myself, there's better IASS. But it's insanity to even imagine self-hosted is more reliable than using even the shittiest of IASS providers.
