Wouldn't a name like that imply that somewhere there is such a thing as
a cloud?

The current name is an explicit joke on the concept that a "cloud"
exists.  It's just a server somewhere, and perhaps having a joke like
that as a name can be didactic.  "Hey!  There's a cloud in Emacs!
*reads manual*  Oh, it's just stores something on a server...  Is that
what all clouds are about?"

I mean, we can dream.
