I call shennanigans on this as a made-up statistic. You may be able to convince that percentage of people of that, but they may well not be aware of what's possible with commodity hardware.

Sure there is. Money and maximum (I/O) performance.
> “Saving money” by running your own servers is penny wise, pound foolish. You’ll never, ever compete with AWS for features or cost.
You may be right about (software) features, but certainly not about cost. It's not "saving money" with quotes. It's actually saving money. You just have to hire someone that happens to know how to save money.
AWS will never, ever compete with you for hardware features or cost.
