AWS/Cloud have seemed to create this fallacy that dedicated hardware/on-prem fails far more than actual reality.

Well, that's called "advertising and marketing" - persuading engineers to buy their products by doctoring the truth. It's actually easier with rockstar engineers - they never admit their pet approach might be wrong so AWS just needs to sell to them once ;)
Indeed there is an odd element to that, as when it's all said and done, AWS itself is an on-prem infrastructure too.
