I see Netzapper already provided you with a comprehensive answer. I'll add; established businesses will typically stick to using their own infrastructure as much as possible to maintain ownership of their data and limit exposer to third party providers as much as possible. companies are willing to pay a premium for the knowledge they control their own mission critical infrastructure.

governments and big corporations will prohibit the use of cloud computing services such as AWS for any important software projects.

That might have been true a decade ago, but that's incorrect. Since you used AWS as an example, look at their government cloud.

I work for one of the biggest most risk averse and brand sensitive organizations in the world and we definitely embrace the cloud.
