My experience with home-rolled solutions suggests there are plenty of hidden costs. Got a new project, and want to spin up some experimental servers? Gotta wade through a bunch of IT guys. Documentation and training around Azure, etc is also going to be better than homegrown alternatives, most likely. Things like that.

It’s hard to put a monetary figure on the frictions costs, but they are there.

You're comparing one extreme (public cloud) to another extreme (sysadmin-managed infrastructure). The alternative, today, is either a private or a hybrid cloud, which have all the advantages of short-circuiting sysadmins that public clouds have.
