Your confidence is misplaced. Netflix is a well known user of cloud services for encoding, and just about everyone runs at least part of their deep learning workloads on AWS or Google Cloud. Not to mention databases.

Encoding is an embarrassingly parallel problem which is trivially scalable by launching new instances. That usecase fits precisely the scenario where CPU raw performance is not an important issue, and the cloud is already good enough.
