How is this promoted as a "local UI" if it gets the UI from a remote URL?

Maybe the closed source UI is downloaded upon first execution for installation and then cached locally?

Or is this a web app that loads from the remote URL each time?

It's a web interface, but it is served from the local machine. The default is http://localhost:4213/

See the note just above this link on data locations and the optional and explicit opt-in to motherduck:
