On-prem is less likely to get patched and it's somewhat more work for the criminals to breach each installation individually but overall it's probably less secure.

Well it's single point of failure vs distributed resiliency.

You could hack your local dealership but if they can't sell, the customers just go to the dealership down the street, which serves as a very high incentive to get your systems back up and running.
