Exactly this, "local-first" here mostly is a marketing term rather than a technical one.

I'll tell you a funny(real) story. where i live there is a popular valley, well let's call it X-Valley. the name is very popular and gets a lot of tourism to the valley, so much so that all the surrounding valleys now advertise them as X-Valleys on the internet. and they get a lot of (re: majority of) their tourism business from doing that.

Second is the people's understanding of the term "local-first", I doubt many truly understand the real one from ink&switch. what a good chunk of them are really looking for is offline-first or even optimistic-ui based sync system.
