Around here, you'd spread the work of one new server to folks you've already got or spread the cost of new hires to a large number of servers.

I think it's also worth considering that many outfits wouldn't get good value from the 24/365 coverage you propose and don't care to pay for it.

Or you'd hire an MSP. Having a full time employee is a greater level of service than anyone here is getting from a cloud provider. Lots of folks can get by with an admin who stops in once or twice a week, or remotes in and takes care of the daily tasks on largely a part-time basis.
