Local models are never going to be as powerful.
Yes, and PCs will never be as powerful as mainframes.
And smart phones will never be as powerful as PCs.
But which ones are more popular and used more for computing?

While I'd love for the gigaherz of computing I hold in the palm of my hand to be useful unto itself, if it doesn't connect to Uber, Gmail, Netflix, Apple, et al, how useful those gigaherz of computing are is irrelevant, unless I want to do some local computing.
