Aren't you making gp's point for him?

GP was saying there is no flexibility of infrastructure if you use cloud servers and they are therefore recession proof.

I was saying it's pretty flexible within the constraints set up, and often companies have spare capacity they could significantly scale down to save money (for example a travel company during a pandemic has very few customers), so it is flexible in the most important way (cost).

That means cloud companies will see a significant reduction in resource usage and thus revenue if enough customers do this.
