The term "private cloud" has existed for easily 15 years, pretty much straight after Google coined the term "cloud computing". The current deifnition of "on-prem" actually changed after cloud computing reached mass adoption. Prior to then, on-prem referred to "in your office" vs. "in a datacenter". These days "on-prem" means "not in public cloud".
