I have the opposite experience - most IT I know would rather outsource as much of their job to "the cloud" as they can, and go feet-up.
The problem is typically that cookie-cutter solutions don't necessarily map what the leadership requires: either the cost is too high, the knowledge gap is massive (e.g. the tool can do everything, but requires specialized knowledge of an obscure DSL and implementation details only three people in the world have actually mastered...) or the security implications are nontrivial.
To be fair, I do know also people who will always prefer to build their own anyway, because it makes them feel more in control (which they are). It's the CEO's job to rein in these tendencies when necessary, though.
