Just getting a highly available storage with any kind of performance requires you to overprovision by something like 12x (3 boxes with raid 1+0) which is frankly insane. And then you have to manage it and fix it when it inevitably breaks. The team who’s supposed to do that will be swamped by trying to keep the other 15 infrastructure services running and upgraded to a version which is only barely out of vendor support.

I'm not saying 100% uptime on bare metal is cheap, I'm saying 100% uptime is frequently not needed.
