Saas makes sense because many large organizations are incapable of running large data processing applications locally. Think of it a bit like food delivery. In the past each restaurant had to hire their own delivery driver and manage the delivery operation. This is highly non-trivial and as a result only a few restaurants would take on food delivery. Now, we have services that specialize in food delivery, and they se…

Actually, it is the smaller and midsized companies who benefit from shared food delivery services. The big ones can run it themselves and not have to pay the middleman.

So to have people pick your restaurant for delivery you have to join the google of food. But that is not important…

It's not just having the servers, but also the expertise and domain knowledge. Putting aside application specific knowledge (e.g. running SAS or the like), not all large companies have in-house expertise that can administer a Linux virtual machine. In my experience, it's not surprising to find IT departments that don't even know about ssh.

Remember, there are more enterprises than technology enterprises. Finance, audit, law firms, oil and gas, insurance, these places often don't have the in-house experience to run non-Windows tech stacks.

But would those companies need this service? I can hardly inagine they do.
