the thing is, OS is in dominant position on the market for not very long time and it was born purely for abstracting the hardware, to make it accessible for upper layer application and have no other functionalities. As all things moved to the cloud, where the OS is running should not be an important question anymore. The real question should be, where the application is running, where my data stored. Get the OS clone running in remote does not serve any benefits for us. You still have to install MS Word in remote and upload your file to the cloud which make no difference to our current status. However, the cloud gaming service solve a more practical problem we will face and we don't have to update our GPU anymore.
All the cloud service should solve a practical problem (storage, data management, collaboration) otherwise, there is really no need for it.
I hope it will explain why most Cloud OS services now fail.
