Ask HN: Is your company sticking to on-premise servers? Why?

I've been managing servers for quite some time now. At home, on prem, in the cloud... The more I learn, the more I believe cloud is the only competitive solution today, even for sensitive industries like banking or medical. I honestly fail to see any good reason not to use the cloud anymore, at least for business. Cost-wise, security-wise, whatever-wise. What's a good reason to stick to on-prem today for new projects? To be clear, this is not some troll question. I'm curious: am I missing something?

Companies may cease supporting a device well before consumers have stopped using it. The support period is often not communicated at the time of sale. And sometimes the end of support is not even announced, leaving even informed users unsure whether their devices are still safe. I’ve advocated for the FCC to require device manufacturers to support their devices with security updates for a reasonable amount of time [1]. I can't bring such a proposal
