Self hosting doesn't necessarily imply you need your own hardware.

Depending on what they're hosting, it could still be cheaper. My company wants to move a bunch of our old "tech debt" servers to AWS from the physical rack they're in now. The estimated AWS cost for that hosting is about the same as replacing 1/6 of the entire server infrastructure every month. There is no sound fiscal reason for us to do that, and probably likewise for many others, but Amazon is a nice, big famous company that makes an excellent scapegoat for bad planning, I guess.

Most of our customers are priced out of the hardware we bought zhrough the official distributor channel. They hiked the prices to 100% of the previous batch. Meanwhile we bought what we could from numerous resellers to make it DIY. Not many small customers can afford to drop 10k on a mid/low tier enterprise grade hardware (2x 1.92TB TLC SSDs, RAID controller, Intel E-2434, 64GB DDR5 RAM) A few months ago this was (fully assembled mind you) around 2-3k
