Of course - every pay as you go service that goes above a certain amount of utilization will be better replaced with up front investment. But that doesn't mean that the opex model is bad in general; you've just only picked cases where it's bad.
So, what you're saying is, that whether opex or capex models are better or not...depends? That there is no silver bullet, golden gun, one-size-fits-all platitude anyone can post in an HN comment?
If the opex model doesn't work for an organization, that they perhaps just went above that utilization threshold where it doesn't make sense anymore, and would be a potential 0xide customer?
