AWS can make sense if you have extremely bursty requirements but definitely yeah on expensive. I worked for a company that made a big push from VMWare on their own iron to AWS and I hear it's all been moved back since I left.

There is some very aggressive shilling in the tech scene for businesses to give up their self sufficiency and be at the mercy of Google Cloud, AWS, or Azure. I can only imagine two motives for this: profit, and the ability to absolutely destroy the company if they ever enter the crosshairs of the communist mob.

Mostly profit I think. There has been a move from some companies to move to rental models (Microsoft has also strongly been moving that way but also companies like Adobe). If they sell you something, they have to work to sell you something again next month. If you're renting that something, they get your money no matter what.
