Hard agree with the second paragraph.
It is incredibly difficult for non-tech companies to hire quality software and infrastructure engineers - they usually pay less and the problems aren't as interesting.
On the second though, at some point, infrastructure like AWS are going to be more reliable than what many banks, medical device operators etc can provide themselves. asking them to stay on their own hardware is asking for that industry to remain slow, bespoke and expensive.
