The biggest reason I think is SLAs and the ability to blame someone else when something goes wrong. I've seen it play out at multiple different companies now.

SLA and support is the biggest one. We had to pay Migrants for Docker Enterprise licenses just in case we needed support or some sort of liability shield.

Yeah, having to have someone „on site“ who knows about cyber security and such vs having a piece of paper laying around that tells you that availability, continuity, security are hidden away in a SEP field. It’s easy to guess which one you want to choose…

Depends whether you want to try preventing damage, or just have someone maybe* half-ass it and take the blame.

*Like they say in security, "how do you know?".
