Total non-economic argument: What if I don't trust Google? Amazon? Or any other cloud provider with similar low costs? Am I put in pigeonholes if I run own servers?

(Disclaimer: I run a few colocated servers but don't have to pay the bill, so I can afford writing non-professional comments ;-) )

How much do you trust the ~100 employees you have to hire to run your infrastructure?
