Can’t say I agree. I believe the method of distributing software historically was limited due to no easy access to public computing. Now the software distributor can more easily provide the software to the customer.

If ”cloud” was available in the 90s, I doubt that self hosting would have been as popular. Not saying its a wrong choice, just a matter of convenience.

Organizations will do whatever they think is cheaper.

Convenience doesn’t matter. The manager will say that SaaS costs half as much and then we get the direction to move.

When the pendulum swings to “On-Premise will cost half as much”, we will get the direction to move back.
