It's because doi g things on site requires CapEx, which then increases your tax liability.
By going SaaS, you offload the entirety of risk.
The problem is the morons who sign these contracts are fucking clueless about ensuring the liability is strong.
Important to define risk because a lot of software people here(me included) will immediately think "what do you mean their data was hacked". However from a legal standpoint they get to point the finger at Canvas.
