Probably because this is not a brand new concept. We've seen it attempted and it never takes off because of all the core problems that people have addressed already.
That said ... If any company had a chance of being the first to be really successful with this concept, I would be looking to Google or Amazon to make it happen.
As someone smack dab in the middle of the Canadian prairies where 100ms+ ping to popular US data centers is typical, I'm not going to hold my breath about this being a viable alternative to running locally.
