That may be analogous to "the cloud", but not to the subject here: When you buy a car or a phone, it's supposed to be "yours". (That's what "buying something" means.)
When you go to the bakery every morning to buy your breakfast baguette, you don't think you're buying the bakery -- you're just buying the bread. And that is yours after you've paid for it. Or does your baker have an electronic backdoor to the bread he sells you?
(And you're not just renting the bread, or "buying the service of using it for a while". Or does your baker come around and collect your poop after you've digested the bread?)
