What's the point of promoting a model as "light weight" or even mentioning the parameter count if I can't run it locally? I don't give a toss how much pressure

What's the point of promoting a model as "light weight" or even mentioning the parameter count if I can't run it locally? I don't give a toss how much pressure your remote hardware is under, and promoting a cloud service as small and lightweight only makes me think it's going to be cheap and crappy.
