You can't just decide that words mean different things to "you".

Platform as a Service or anything "as a Service" means someone else provides it as a service (ie subscription). The Platform part is all this is offering. So it is not a Platform as a Service.

Yes, ”someone else” - be it delivered internally from one team to others or b2b.

It is not necessarily hard tied to a business model, but of course I understand that this is the common usage.

It’s really about abstractions and consumability.

This is my interpretation of the NIST meaning of aaS.
