Responsibility?

"One of the purported benefits of public cloud is you no longer need to buy and maintain your own servers – they become the responsibility of somebody else."

Oh no they don't - they get to be _managed_ by somebody else, but the responsibility remains firmly in your corporate lap. That actually increases your exposure, as you can't control the screw-ups of your providers.
