It might benefit in some case though, right? Could there be a service operated by some provider more tailored to a use-case or backed by some expertise you don't have in house?

Yeah I forgot about video streaming. We don't want that throughput on our lines. So not just someone else's computer, but their ISP too.

As far as hosting vs. support... I can't think of an example where we haven't chosen on-prem (if available) and, if the software is exotic, then hired contracted development/support.
