Same. I use Hetzner and DigitalOcean for my own stuff, and shudder at AWS costs. At the same time both my current and previous employers use AWS and it's fine for their user because revenue is (very) high relative to the cloud resource usage, and that is a situation where cloud usage is fine. But so many - B2C in particular - businesses who uses cloud have tight enough margins that they're just setting themselves up for being disrupted by a competitor with tighter cost control.
