I promise that is not what 90% of people mean when they say they want bare metal, and not what 99% of people mean when they say they don't want "cloud"; it's still AWS's machine.

Honestly, if they mean "owned machine in colo" they should say that rather than "bare metal". Those are orthogonal concepts. (You can have VM instances on a private cloud on owned machines as well)

If you're actually interested in buying servers this is not a pedantic difference.
