At the end of the day it's just vibes. If the company is one that sees:

- Reliability as a cost center

- Vendor costs are to be limited

- CIO-driven rather than CTO-driven

Then it's going to be a given that they prioritize costs that are easy to see, and will do things like force a dev team to work for a month to shave ~2k/month off of a cloud bill. In my experience, these orgs will also sometimes do a 180 when they learn that their SLAs involve paying out to customers at a premium during incidents, which is always very funny to observe. Then you talk to some devs and they say things like "we literally told them this would happen years ago and it fell on deaf ears" or something.
