They try to make the cloud relevant for a lot of things that could easily be accomplished locally... Most of the time, they do that just to get your data.

Vendor lock-in is what they're after in the cloud case. Every time we talk to our cloud provider reps they ask us which of their SaaS offerings we're using. Their heads spin when we tell them we're just using VMs and ask us why.
