The complaint in the comment above was that on-prem was chaper but they couldnt hire people with the necessary skills. Obviously it is not actually cheaper if you don’t factor in hiring the necessary skills.

I suppose that is just another way of expressing my point; comparing hardware on a like-for-like basis, on-prem is cheaper. Once you factor in the hiring cost and adjust for the availability of those skills (since that is never truly reflected in the salary, in my experience) - then cloud becomes "cheaper" not in money but in opportunity-cost and reduced staffing-related business risk.
