That all takes time. With cloud, you can have a system up and running in literal seconds, which is very nice when you find out that you severely underestimated how much traffic you web app will get.
But yeah, in the long run, colocation becomes significantly cheaper than cloud. You use AWS, and you'll find yourself paying $200/month for hardware you could buy once for $2,000.
Sometimes I think people forgot colocation is an option that exists.
