I hear you but how is this any different than any alternative approaches? I mean yes you could throw a server under your desk and it would be cheaper. Should you run a server in prod with sensitive workloads without all these extra security bells and whistles (on prem or in the cloud)? No. No you should not. Compared to alternative security appliances and offerings this is still a good deal.

Why not? Have people forgotten how to run servers in the past decade?

People haven’t forgotten, companies just don’t hire infra people.

“Fire all your ops people do the cloud” has made it so that organizations have forgotten how to run servers.

Working in infra but not at supermassive scale does really feel like the new COBOL programmer.
