Why do people say "on-premise" instead of "on-premises"?

Here follows the definitions I am familiar with:

"premise" - a house or building, together with its land and outbuildings, occupied by a business or considered in an official context.

"premise" - a previous statement or proposition from which another is inferred or follows as a conclusion.

(I have the privilege of worrying about this because my company uses Confluence Cloud. It's vastly inferior to our old aelf-hosted mediawiki, but at least it's not an open barn door.)

Just say on-prem. Problem solved!

Really though, "self-hosted" would make even more sense, as companies often deploy such applications in one or more "off prem" environments anyway. I'd hardly consider my company's multi-region/multi-AZ AWS VPC to be my "premise".

(That first one should be "premises", but I didn't proof-read or notice in time to make an edit. Also the last sentence should have "self-hosted". Bad QA.)
