It's hard to "own your infrastructure" when you needs are so extreme. Part of the job of tech workers is to make things efficient so that the company doesn't end up with an outsized OpEx or CapEx. With all this hardware required, they have made it impossible to own their own hardware.

It is. I really want to know what the hell is going on with their dev team.
