Every website and corporate IT infra was run out of a local closet, or a mini data center in some cases. The cloud consolidated all that and is more energy efficient, secure (according to user setup!) and reliable. Going back to everyone doing their own thing would be awful, but given AWS pricing, I’m not sure why small corporations aren’t already moving back inhouse.
Not that I disagree with you, but what are you referring to by the millions of server closets thing?
