I worked in Switzerland and a reason to use on premise here is Security

Many detail banks, asset management company or high security company refuse to use any public Cloud.

They want to have a strict and traceable list of people who have physical access to their hardware.

This in order to control any risk of dataleak [1].

In practice they use generally on-premise installation. They ren space in a computer center and own there a private cage monitored with multiple cameras. Meaning they know exactly anyone touching their hardware and enforce security clearance for them.
