Cloud services are not always cheaper and for some use cases
are outrageously more expensive than operating own servers.

Cloud services are already used in OSM in some places,
with some further migrations being planned where it makes sense.
See for example
https://github.com/openstreetmap/operations/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+AWS

(and anyway major costs of running servers are people needed
to administer them, in many cases reducing workload here in exchange
for higher server costs is what makes cloud attractive)
