Some companies have terrible IT outsourcing and procurement practices such that getting something comparable to aws infrastructure is effectively not possible, as it would require massive internal change whereas moving to the cloud is easy to get buy in.

Also regular devs don't realize but frequently internal IT departments charge obscene amounts of money for managed services.

Devs look at Digital Ocean or Hetzner VM costing $10 for a ton of RAM, storage and bandwidth when the same thing internally in a bank or other big enterprise can cost $100-150. AND be delivered in 3 months, if it's ever delivered.

Absolutely, bargaining for cheap service fees from these suppliers, only to be charged greatly for simple hardware and anything outside the standard list.
