again, while true that description is neither complete nor distinguished. It would get maybe 1 out of four possible points in a high school exam.

Not helpful for most things.

It's reductionist, but it gets to the point that it's not an abstract everlasting resource, it's a system that's not under your control, so it might not be always reliable. So people should be wary of service discontinuations, rules and price changes.

The point can be distilled even further, the cloud is someone else's.
