no, self hosting is cheaper at scale. aws is good for prototyping and smaller scale apps. hybrid is kinda okay as well

No, self hosting tend to be harder to maintain, less secure and need more maintenance than managed services like AWS. If you take all those into consideration the reality is self hosting cost can increase exponentially. Imagine running a microservices on self hosted kubernetes cluster vs something like AWS ECS. You have to do lot more to have things like load balancing, application logging, HTTP logging and build and deployment while ECS, fargate, cloudwatch can do same for less.

This is true when the scale we are talking about is similar FB. otherwise self hosting won't be profitable. (We rarely develop applications that need to scales to that level.)

Even at that level, a lot of apps run on top of cloud providers.
PickMe runs on Azure
AirBnB runs on AWS
Instagram used to run on AWS (Until acquired by Meta)
Most of the netflix still runs on AWS. (I heard Netlfix is the largest external AWS customer)

the most popular service to run on own infrastructure is Cloudflare, I heard they are not even virtualizing, their OSs running on bare metal.
Also most of the banking and FinTech applications running on self hosted services due to regulations and security reasons.

Most of the companies go for self hosting due to other reasons like security, compliance, control etc, cost is not the only reason.
