Yes, and it attracts just the wrong kind of dev/architects.
At a previous shop, we hired a cloud architect to drive our "cloud adoption".
He of course bet the farm on a set of new AWS services that were barely in version v0.9 to be the backbone of the system he architected.
It quickly became clear even he had no experience with the set of tools & services he had advocated, and the whole thing went off the rails slowly & surely.
Low & behold 100% of existing customers are still on the on-prem offering 2 years later, and if you throw in the new customers that were shoehorned onto the AWS offering, his team has captured 2% of customer use after 2 years of effort.
