Which is precisely why they went all in on Microsoft Cloud. Using an in-house stack (no matter if it's Jira, Confluence, Exchange, AD, Postfix, Exim, OpenLDAP, Samba, ...) will always lead to people blaming the C level for any outage, hack, whatever. Miss one tiny little patch and insurance won't pay.
Go for Atlassian Cloud/Microsoft/AWS/GCP? You can now deflect any blame onto the cloud provider. No personal liability, nothing. You followed industry best practices, so insurance pays out.
