This is patently not true, and a very low-value article. Pay per use has been around just as long as SAAS, and most businesses prefer knowing what they will pay rather than getting variable bills, because

1) they're risk averse and want to know what pricing they're signing up for (pay-per-use is often much more difficult to figure out what you'll wind up paying in the end)

2) most businesses operate within known budgets, and introducing new software on a pay-per-use basis may hurt their ability to accurately plan those budgets.
