If you already have IT staff in-house it ends up being a duplication of roles and an added layer of complexity. I get some servers and/or resources can benefit from autoscale. USGS gets slammed after a major earthquake so having autoscale capability is important. Or you want to co-locate some servers (payroll) for disaster recovery purposes. There are some legitimate uses cases, but often cloud just feels like renting servers that you could own and manage in-house.
