Who owns it when it goes to production? You, by yourself? What happens when it breaks, you're on call 24/7? You really want that? You're going to stay on top of keeping it up to date, in line with governance/security requirements? When do you have time to work on features and bugfixes?
We don't use Terraform or similar, though we do manage our own VMs. We devs can setup our own stuff for dev, and then ops will do test/staging and production.
Seems like this should solve GP's complaint while allowing ops/support to "own" once it leaves dev.
