The comparison above is not AWS vs an in house hosted server. It's dedicated bare metal. If something happens with the hardware on those dedicated servers, the hosting company handles it for you.

And even most dedicated servers can optionally come preinstalled with the OS.

Absolutely, it can even install Proxmox if you want something that supports snapshots (I prefer to "just do remote secure incremental data backups")
