> Good news for us, as that's what we specialise in, but also perplexing how trends in the software industry can completely ignore what customers actually want.
I initially read this backwards and thought you were lamenting that people insist on on-prem stuff when cloud is clearly The Right Thing.
I certainly don't think the entire software industry is ignoring what customers actually want. Case in point, you. But also lots of other developers who thrive in covering the myriad use cases the myopic behemoths can't see. They just have very loud PR and marketing and pretend those cases don't exist, so you hear about them a lot.
