Isn't that just the whole cloud (and also a gazillion other services)? I think the argument of "Why pay DropBox when you can just FTP" also applies to why pay AWS when I can manage my own servers? And then to further extend, why pay the supermarket when I can just grow vegetables at home?

Because I can't?

I live in a building on a dense urban area. There's not enough space in my home to grow the necessary amount of vegetables.
