It's almost ingrained in the American business model now. Outsource everything. Nobody wants to manage a room full of servers when they can spend 2-3x as much and outsource that headache along with the responsibility for it.

I'm in a relatively small business, we recently had an outage related to our local infrastructure.
I got pressure from the CEO saying it wasn't reliable to host our own infrastructure anymore even though our total internal down time over the last 5 years is significantly less than even a single of the larger recent AWS outages.
Everyone wants to shuck the chore and the responsibility.
