I’m probably missing something obvious, so take this as a genuine question rather than an attempt to debate, but why aren’t they fundamentally connected?
If you sometimes need 10 servers and sometimes need 100 (elasticity) then with renting you can always have the proper number. If you own, then you have to own all 100 servers.
