Well we can debate, but it really doesn't matter. LMS was designed as a thin client device, and that is where the name comes from "slim devices." In computer parlance that means that all the important things happen at a server and the "dumb" or "thin" client device just does the most basic functions like receiving and interfacing. Pretty much all music server software is designed this way: database access, DSP or other processing and serving take place at the server computer and the end-point, or thin client just accepts the data being served.
The Sueezeboxes can work without LMS altogether if they are connect to mysqueezebox.com , which then provides the server functions. For a limited number of cases, such as Internet radio and music streamers like Pandora, the squeezebox can make a direct link to a remote streaming server and does not require mysqueezebox or LMS, although sometimes the connection must be made through a server first.
Anyway, none of it is particulaly important. If you are happy, keep sailing. I am about to cue up a Friday night playlist with Roon and enjoy a weekend without a wife to bother me. I have beverages and food ready to go.
