People forget that Colo & Leasing servers exist.

And it costs like 1/5th of cost of “cloud”, and the later still gets you “the cloud”.

Correct, but, again, free lunches don’t exist.

Now you’re in the business of maintaining/patching/imaging/securing your operating system and all of the libraries/builtins it comes with...along with your app's stack.

That's not nearly as simple as "Hey, here's my code, Lightsail; ship it and present me its URL. Thanks!"
