Generally hasn’t been IT making these decisions. Same as cloud fundamentally just meaning offsite storage someone else owns. The PR push about how it somehow is not that was/is massive.
The momentum of cross functionality is also massive. There exist many programs and websites that do not accept non-microslop files.
Management is obsessed with the cloud and “serverless”, because it’s cheaper short-term, and they don’t have to care about eventualities like hardware breaking.
Long-term, it would be far cheaper and way more secure to host locally, especially for data storage.
But we all know long-term thinking is something that management can’t do. And of course, the PR doesn’t help at all.

Yup, as a sr sysadmin I fought hard against moving our servers to the cloud. But the company never actually listened to IT about IT things.
