"3x or 4x more expensive over the long term"

And that's where you're wrong. If done right, 3x to 4x more expensive up front and less TCO in the long run.

In software it never works like that. Costs more to build it with contractors and then because you get rid of the contractors support is done by people unfamiliar with the code so support costs more, upgrades cost more because new contractors need time to learn the codebase or the old contractors charge more because they know the codebase.

Fine, but a LOT of the current problems do not revolve around software whatsoever
