You can use virtualization on prem; it’s trivial. No one is still racking hardware on demand. Don’t want to use Xen or KVM? Kubernetes is your solution if you’re a containers shop.

On prem delivery/provisioning is not slower when executed properly.

Could be wrong but I don't think virtualization or container technology is the blocker. It's the software that keeps track of who's allowed to use it and who's currently using it that's the problem. With AWS it's easy, because you pay money for the privilege. It's harder for large orgs, when divisions and teams don't directly pay to access servers. 3rd party clouds solve the issue when teams are given budgets to use them.
