As a software house, running our own infrastructure would be a nightmare in so many ways... Just thinking of all the hardware that needs to be deployed, and how many sites worldwide we'd need just to provide the same level of service we have now, and then being able to scale up massively during peak time but have all that capacity go to waste during low season, then dedicated teams on all sites to handle emergencies 24/7, the massive loses of revenue anytime the services are down...

"Just in-house it" is definitely not the answer, there's a reason AWS makes so much money.
