I can't figure out how self-hosted and "deploy on cloud" are not mutually exclusive. Unless you've gone through the trouble of setting up enough machines at home to have a viable cloud infrastructure.

I think self-hosted refers to it not being a SAAS. Deploy to "your" cloud servers. I'm just assuming though.

  I kind of know that's what it's taken to mean, I entirely disagree though. If it's not your hardware, on your property, you're not self-hosting, you're renting.

  Yes, that's correct.

"self-hosted" just means you host it yourself. Where and how is up to you, but the instance is entirely in your control. "Deploy to cloud" is just an answer to the "where and how" - a singular option. This is (typically, though not always) different from SaaS and on-prem, the former being hosted/managed/monitored by a third party, and the latter meaning hosted by you, usually managed and monitored by a third party - often for regulatory or whitelabelling reasons.
