I don't get your point. It doesn't matter if you host your stuff on AWS, Hetzner, or locally on a Pi, you need someone to manage that. If you are this someone, great, if not, you need to pay someone else. And contrary to what private cloud providers advertise,[0] the amount of work is similar in each case.

[Or used to, around 2006 or so - I'm not sure if they still claim managing public cloud resources is means less work.]
