I wasn't referring to cost as, yes, it's definitely cheaper to just rent some servers.
The operational overhead of provisioning them, configuring them (and so on) is really difficult for a lot of teams though.

Though I do admit being able to fire up a server for a couple of hours and then delete it is pretty awesome.
