And how is that adding any business value? Are they constantly testing for cloud portability like Uber does?

Is it giving your former company a competitive advantage?

No, its stupid and wrongheaded, but that doesn't mean people don't do it, just giving an example of my most recent experience but I have seen it multiple times. They believe they will be able to sell their SaaS product in different clouds using existing budget companies have invested in said clouds.

People are loss averse to decisions that they made about things that are completely unrealized, it makes no sense.
