Well companies use not for relibibut to outsource responsibility. Even a medium sized company treated Windows like a subscription for many many years. People have been emailing files to themself since the start of email.

For companies moving everything to msa or aws just was the next step and didn't change day to operations

People also tend to forget all the compliance issues that can come around hosting content, and using someone with expertise in that can reduce a very large burden. It's not something that would hit every industry, but it does hit many.
