No, cloud adoption was driven by teams having to wait 2 years for capex for their hardware purchase and then getting a quarter of what they asked for. You couldn't get things, people hoarded servers they pretended to be using because when they did need something they couldn't get it. Management just wouldn't approve budgets so you were stuck using too little hardware.
On the cloud it takes five seconds to get a new machine I can ssh into and I don't have to ask anyone for the budget.
You can save a lot of money with scaling, you have to actually do that though and very few places do.
