If you have systems and apps that need to be air-gapped for security reasons would be one reason. Another could be that if the choice is Public Cloud, vs. in-house data center and you have extreme performance needs, or you have to use a specific or proprietary form of encryption that is unsupported in The Cloud environment.For the most part, we are now at a point, where The Cloud is almost ubiquitous and fulfills the vast majority of needs and requirements for most scenarios.

Internet connectivity might be an issue, it is after all, a single point of failure for all cloud services.

And I can still make it cost effective. If I look hard enough, I can get a small enough server with a good enough set of components in it that will allow me to do whatever I want. That becomes my one node that I can then add that storage to, or add a server that allows me to upgrade and keep adding RAM and GPU, etc., to give me exactly what I need in my own personal node. That could be any enterprise application, wherever and whenever I wanted or needed. But I don't have that facility in the cloud because I'm relegated to the instances that they will give me. And I’ll be in trouble if that instance goes down.
