Earlier quoted context omitted.
People do cook instead of eating out . Analogies are not problem-solvers, and it's a false dichotomy because owning is not the only alternative to the cloud
Most home cooks and restaurants don't grown or transport their own food. Even at a farm to table type place there's often different people doing the different work. What's wrong with letting the specialists handle logistics so you can focus on business logic instead of basic piping?
Growing food is more like designing and manufacturing servers.
Cooking is more like taking these goods and putting them to use.
There are plenty of places that host their own servers, including people that have these servers in their home or office. But far fewer produce these machines.
You could also say that cooking food is dumb. What's wrong with having professionals chefs do it? But that also doesn't take into account the added costs which makes it unfeasible for most.
