In the age of VMs and containers I'm not sure it's still true.

I've been involved in debugging a bug in a software that occurred on Kubernetes cluster at the client site but couldn't be reproduced locally. Reproducing that is so much harder than a similar software installation. You have so many moving parts that it's pretty much impossible to create a test cluster with the same properties.

Also, with SaaS you can get access to log files, if it's installed on prem that can be heavily restricted by regulation.
