about security, most businesses using AWS invest little to nothing in securing their software, or even adopt basic security practices for their employees
having the most secure data center doesn't matter if you load your secrets as env vars in a system that can be easily compromised by a motivated attacker
so i don't buy this argument as a general reason pro-cloud

This exactly, most leaks don't involve any physical access. Why bother with something hard when you can just get in through an unmaintained Wordpress/SharePoint/other legacy product that some department can't live without.
