Moving to the cloud from on-prem political question

[Alexanderius]

Ok, you are forcing your users to move to the cloud from on-prem servers, but where is a guarantee that you will not block an organization like Github did? Because it is a serious risk to the business.

The decision to drop the server version of the Atlassian products was made many years ago, and was purely a commercial decision.  The world is moving to large localised systems or the Cloud and there's a rapidly shrinking market for the in-between options such as Atlassian's "server" options.

There is no guarantee that an organisation will not be blocked, and Atlassian have joined with others in condemning Putin's invasion of Ukraine, and dropping support for supporting organisations - see https://www.atlassian.com/blog/announcements/atlassian-stands-with-ukraine
