When your cloud costs reach the high hundreds of millions to billions of dollars per year, it is worth it. At that point you probably want to run your infrastructure across cloud providers anyway.
At that point, you’re going to need the in house expertise anyway and you would probably be better off managing your own data center.
Even if you are “cloud agnostic”, at that size just your networking infrastructure, compliance, auditing, and data migration is going to cost a boatload of money and it would take years to save enough to make the migration worth it. Not to mention the retraining and risks that come from the migration.
You probably also have a few direct connections to the cloud provider.
