These analogies are really bad. It’s not as if this is binary. Nobody is suggesting you fab your own chips or build your own data centers.

But you do cook (presumably) most of your own food, and you drive your own car. You capture most of the benefit of economies of scale and specialization, and then you do the last 5%.

This is what people are talking about. AWS is like eating out for every meal or taking an Uber everywhere. Sure it’s convenient, and has its time and place, but it’s probably not the best default option.
