I've only had one outage I could attribute to running on-prem, meanwhile it's a bit of a joke with the non-IT staff in the office that when "The Internet" (i.e. Cloudflare, Amazon) goes down with news reports etc our own services are all running fine.
Distributed systems can partly fail in many subtly different ways, and you almost never notice it because there are people on-call taking care of them.
How many problems do you think there are?
