Basically, being on-prem adds a lot of friction to adding capacity. Cloud reduces this friction, allowing companies to waste money like never before.
I've seen this play out in person, where the company moved maybe 15% of its capacity to cloud and then had that 15% grow fast enough that, within a few years, cloud spend caught on-prem spend (without migrating more capacity from on-prem to cloud).
