The number of times we've gone from cloud/server access via terminal to local compute back and forth is something that always makes me laugh a bit.

It's more of a pipeline than a back-and-forth. New abilities happen in the cloud first because they require specialized, higher capacity resources and then move towards being local as the resource usage gets optimized.

Outside insane GPU appliances, I really see cloud based things as a lock-in to subscription based offerings. The fallacy of always using the latest code isn't worth never ending subscription fees. I'll install it locally. I'll keep my data locally. I don't need to wait for things to upload/download. If there's an update that feels worthy, I'll purchased and install locally.
