Yep.  Echoing the GNU's phrasing of "Service as a Software Substitute" SaaSS
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/who-does-that-server-really-serve.en.html

But I like your version better.  Could almost capitalize it: SAaS

It also brings me around to the philosophical debate that started in my
head after reading what the https://futo.org/ guys say about open source,
and their https://sourcefirst.com/ movement.  They really want developers
to get paid for writing software, so that the best of the best do not
get sucked up into the Googles and Apples and Microsofts and Amazons
of the world, kept behind SaaS walls.

I'm not sure Source First is the way to do it, but I do appreciate their
concern.
