As the speed of your internet connection increases, there will be a point where disk I/O becomes the limiting factor. At this point you’ll want to rent a VM with a decent amount of RAM and use tmpfs to host your local machine’s swap space in memory.
While bandwidth will increase, latency won’t.
Data centers would be constrained by an unchanging constant of physics, the speed of light. A modern consumer ssd taking 20us to load a page can’t be outperformed by a server more than 3km away for swapping (random access, latency sensitive) workloads.
If you want to outsource your stuff to a server, either just do persistent storage or go all the way and send your keystrokes and receive back video.

It’s a joke, just like the original post.
jokes of this type are fun to disect and no single party gets a monopoly on the fun
I just got the impression that the respondent missed that point.
