I think the mismatch is that I never developed websites, think games, media tools, developer tools. Anytime there was a dependency on a web component I was using a cloud service, external or internal. Internal cloud services were operated by different BU's like a separate business.
Software was distributed via boxed CD or 3rd party web stores. I've never looked into the eyes of someone that configures routers or even heard them mentioned in all my years. They were always essentially in a different company.
