The problem requires more time and money up front.

AWS is a shit show. But knowing actual sysadmin work is becoming highly technical, highly paid, and obsolete.

Now most companies would rather hire a PaaS,SaaS, and DevOps person and save money up front on costs associated with buying, assembling, storing and maintaining your own hardware, internet connection etc, and everything that goes with it.

The issue is that once you give your autonomy to someone else, well don't be shocked when they say you're racist and deplatformed for proclaiming you're still a dude even if you cut your pecker off.. And once you're in that spot, you can't just buy a few servers and make the switch, easily..

Our society is fast food, and that's bled into the tech sector as well. It's not all bad.. I can spin up a ton of websites that let you purchase some item from China I'm selling or make sure the cat videos you want to see have enough resources. But very few can actually write code to maintain a lot of the stuff that's out there, let alone correctly implement it.

The security holes are all over. It just gets pointed out very quickly to prevent any competition, especially if the competitor has a right leaning persuasion. I mean seriously, how often has Facebook and Twitter leaked user data? The Equifax scandals. IG & Yahoo etc..
