When I was a manager of software dev and later of PM and analysis, I used to harp on this very issue all the time when other managers would want to shift everything to the cloud to save money on hardware and licensing maintenance. I stood firm on the assertion that a company should own its data and processes, not just give it into the hand of untrustworthy third parties like Google, MS, AWS, Apple, eieio vendor. The cloud will hiccup and sometime crash, and then what do you do when you have all your mission critical production running on their processes, processors, and databases... what if the vendor goes toes-up, good luck getting your stuff .
