It is markeing nonsense. Conceptually it is no different than using
a terminal to log into a computer service bureau in 1975 because
your local device doesn't have sufficient storage or power on its
own.

LOL! Far from it.

Those terminals were nothing but a terminal, totally dumb. The nowdays
devices are way smaller and many orders of magnitude more powerful on
their own.
