Is one million really the point where on prem becomes cheaper? I would think it’s much more like 10 million. Between having to pay server engineers and regional distribution and power costs I’d think it adds up to far more than 1 million. Where am I doing my math wrong?

In a large company the engineers , regional distribution etc are already there and pis for by other parts of the company I think. Your math is otherwise correct.
