I look forward to the economically lean years of 2023 and 2024 and HN front page articles about how moving away from Cloud and owning your own server is saving 'millions'.

This. I work on sensors, signal processing and multi-sensor data and could always get a local prototyping rig. But the cloud got so big that I have to be at least somewhat comfortable with working in it just to stay employable.
Before sharing anything I check that it works in a Jupyter notebook running in a docker hosted on AWS getting data from some cloud bucket. But for real work I switch to Vim on a local machine with a few TBs of sensor data to experiment on and enjoy an order of magnitude speed improvement.

I think there is a strong business case for this. Probably not fully off-cloud, but streamlining cloud portions for cost efficiency and going away from keeping everything in the cloud "because zero ingress costs". My 2c.
