Because they are your "own cloud" vs. the Big Tech cloud services. The meaning of words change and a person not in tech would never call something "an application server", which is perfectly fine.
- prmoustache 2y agoMost people not in tech don't even know the word cloud in a context related to computing anyway. They know google drive/workspace, Microsoft 365, dropbox, that's it. EDIT: OK not living in the Apple ecosystem I realize I forgot about icloud which at least in term of market shares in the USA is a big thing (but not necessarily everywhere else).
