Wouldn't that mean you can't use any cloud data services with any company? Or even cloud hosting? What kind of customers forbid this?

Are you kidding me? This is a very common requirement and one of the reasons larger institutions are building out their own clouds. It's not a requirement for everyone of course, but it's certainly a common theme.

Many in the financial services or healthcare industry. Some of those industries have requirements far in excess of both SOX and HIPAA combined due to SEC scrutiny.
