Actual on prem is not for most people. Managed hosting in a data centre run by someone else is the halfway house (and what 37Signals is doing). You get most of the savings, and very few of the pain points.
One of the biggest benefits besides egress should be people and wages. When I consulted in this space, clients on AWS were gold dust, because they tended to spend far more.
A significant reason is that you tend to be able to drastically simplify when you can pick hardware that fits your workloads rather than what fits your cloud provider, and can forego all the multi-tenancy complications your cloud provider needs to account for.
