Non-scalable incompetence or basically pretending that the datacenter will never go down. Any high schooler with an iPhone can set up and maintain a datacenter full of servers.

But if you want something reliable that I can spend 30 seconds writing some terraform for, it will take an entire infra team to set up and maintain it, not to mention an entire procurement process and now having to integrate a new supply chain just for a basic multi-az setup (probably without things like backups and still without basic features the cloud gives you automatically).
