Technically, if its an app which runs in your browser, and in the cloud only, it would be SaaS, regardless of function. But it also qualifies as a software subscription. So, yes.

The lines are blurry. For example there are apps that can run in something like Citrix Connector, VNC, even ssh etc. that are not running in a browser but also are running "in the cloud" (whether private or public).

Well.. photoshop runs on your computer.. but it requires you to be logged in. It used to be a 1-time purchase, but now it is monthly subscription.
