Nobody's saying to host it on-premises. The SaaSS article is advocating running software that you control on servers that you control. That's it. The server is likely in a datacenter, and its hardware could be owned by the datacenter, the customer, or someone else. It could be a virtualized host.

The SaaSS article is about software and services, not hardware.
