Bonus: people should stop being lazy and learn to setup a server infrastructure instead of using “the cloud”. Your data are safer, you save money and give less power to gargantuan cloud companies.

If change happens here, I'm pretty sure that it's going to be in the form of some sort of zero-administration standardized server module that a company sells that has no phone-home capability and that you stick on your local network.

Society probably isn't going to make everyone a system and network administrator, in much the same way that it's not going to make everyone a medical doctor or an arborist. Would be expensive to provide everyone with that skillset.

My "everyone" was a bit too wide I think. I'm not talking about everyday people of course. I'm talking about 50+ employees companies, that would save money by hiring a sysadmin and running their own servers. I know of companies with thousands of employees that pay millions on Azure and AWS and have no in-house infrastructure. That's how you get to Amazon running half of the internet
