It's a good thing because it's needless complexity in most people's lives, and that's what abstractions are for in this and in every other aspect of life.

I give zero shits about which drive my stuff is on in the datacenter, or which datacenter it's even in, or even what content it's on -- it's in the cloud, someone else can figure that out. I know the API they're exporting and the services I'm paying for and the terms within which they deliver those services. That's enough.

I agree with this sentiment; I guess we diverge forcefully on how misleading this language is.
