You’re misunderstanding the value of cloud computing, which should be obvious at this point. But I’ll go ahead and re-explain it for you.
Businesses need to maintain focus and allocate resources toward delivering their core product.
Software is highly profitable and even with inflated cloud computing costs, it makes some level of sense to not over-optimize and spread teams thin reinventing the wheel.
If I can deliver my product or feature to the market 20% faster that’s going to make more money than if I optimize my cloud infrastructure costs to save 50%.
As a business owner I don’t want to have to hire high-paid specialists who understand the deep intricacies of data center infrastructure, I want to be able to pay people with highly common skills who can quickly translate my business logic to working software.
