> as a clear sign they are scared shitless of local models,
The number of people with hardware to run a model like that is very small.
It's going to be many years before hardware to run medium size local models is widely available. Running mid-size local models doesn't even register as a factor in pricing decisions right now.
It's such a small part of the market and will be for many years, until RAM and other hardware prices come down.
