And what exactly do you call a machine that you are, by design, cryptographically locked out of, but a third party has access to? Put another way, would you call a car that I kept duplicate keys and retained title for, but said you could use and maintain at your sole expense for a single upfront payment, rented or owned? Latency is being solved, Google etc. are working that problem. I'm playing devils advocate here, but fundamentally if you don't care about actually controlling or being able to modify something, and pricing is cheaper to rent, why own?

Not a perfect solution, but such a problem can be mitigated by a firewall that blocks such ingoing/outgoing packets. > I'm playing devils advocate here, but fundamentally if you don't care about actually controlling or being able to modify something, and pricing is cheaper to rent, why own? Since I love to tinker with my computers, the answer is obvious to me.
