Are you sure? Perhaps not explicitly but it's hard to avoid.

Hey, Local+Cloud IS the paradigm. Never trust
one or another.

The Cloud is great for distribution, but that's about it.

M$ runs pretty much its whole office/etc platform via
'cloud' these days. Lots of profit.

Yes it is another computer somewhere else and
not on your power line or in your home.

It's not another computer somewhere else. It's a lot of computers in a
lot of other places. It's very different from a single server on a
single data center as this sentence imply.

When OVH took fire a few years ago every one had fun with them because
It wasn't a real cloud and it crashed hard for some of their customers.

Hey, that was the Old Reality. Can still
have at least 'moral' value.

Today, your stuff is EVERYWHERE, spied on
by EVERYONE.

Vlad/Xi have proven they can crash EVERYTHING
on a whim.

Using bank routing numbers for accounts - ALL your
money will suddenly go to N.Korea in an INSTANT.
No way to address it.
