Yup, there’s a cycle between centralization and edge. Started with centralization, mainframes, went edge with the first PCs (and game consoles) and ever since corpos have been trying to pull it back to the center in waves. Thin client, cloud compute, arguably phones (as apps processing in the cloud), AI. So far it’s always gone back to the edge for most of the population, except for niche cases (or not in the case of phones). As internet gets more reliable the chance of it sticking longer in the central zone increases (IMO).
