It's not about which of your computers you run it on, it's about the relative capability of any system you're likely to own vs. what a cloud provider can do. The difference is hilarious - probably 100x. Knowing that, unless you have good reasons (and experimenting/playing around IS a good reason) - not many people would choose to actually base their everyday workflow on an all-local setup.
