Why be a management company on top of a delivery company? Or a finance company on top of a delivery company? Or an employer on top of a delivery company? Because if you outsource any of those functions 100%, your vendor owns the actual company.

If your company is already public (like FedEx) then you don't own your company anyways. So who cares who owns it. All that matters is that it profits the shareholders.

Yeah, the shareholders really don't appreciate it when the management of the company sells it out from under them to a vendor, cutting off the shareholders' future stream of profits. The cloud is a new enough grift that they maybe aren't aware that that's what's happening.
