Whether execution occurs on user-controlled hardware is tested by disconnecting the machine from the network and checking that the capability is retained; systems that degrade to nothing when isolated are remote services with a local presentation layer.

Source quote, verbatim
The relevant test is not where a company says computation happens but whether the user can disconnect the machine from the network and retain the capability. Systems that degrade to nothing when isolated are remote services with a local presentation layer.
