People also underestimate how financially predictable this setup is - you purchase a VPS or bare metal box on DigitalOcean/Hetzner/OVH for e.g. $50/mo, and that price will likely stay the same for the next 5 years. Try that with any of the cloud providers.

This part is often neglected when running a company, where owners usually hope infra costs will decrease over time or remain proportional to company income. However, I'm still waiting to see that.

Good point. Hardware resources are significantly more expensive in the cloud. It is not even close. For basic setups and no insane scaling requirements (most CRUD apps) I don't think you can beat the VPS/bare-metal offers from the mentioned providers. Support is often superb as well.
