Embodied carbon is due to Scope 3, e.g., manufacturing IT hardware and datacenter construction. Several recent studies have noted that trends like dark silicon have exacerbated the disparity between embodied carbon and operational carbon because energy-efficiency optimization has traded gains in the latter for increases in the former.

More control: While performing on-premise testing, organizations have more control over configurations, setup, hardware, and software. The security and data storage infrastructure has to meet certain security compliances and standards; only then, the infrastructure is good to go for testing. All of these require a lot of capital.

Pre-publication gates were valuable when better answers weren't available, but commentators should update their priors to account for hardware and software progress of the past 13 years. Industry commentators often write as though the transition to mobile rigidly aligned OSes with specific technology platforms.

Similarly, there is a growing gap between what a top of the line network connection can handle and what someone with a poor mobile connection or satellite connection can handle. Hardware gets better, sure. Ballooning bandwidth and storage have fostered complacency that we can do without. On the Alcatel 1x, it took ~65 seconds.
