Genuinely.

I'm not sure why people are saying this is a waste of time and it's just a name, because the truth is, names matter!.

"Cloud" and all the associated vendor lock-in and data-selling etc is exactly what most people using HA are trying to escape from, and so Home Assistant 'Cloud' gave completely the wrong impression.
