I might be mistaken, but I don't think Sync Ultra is the same thing as the ad-free sync premium. Sync Ultra is a subscription because it adds functionality that requires cloud resources, not just removes ads.

    Neither of which requires running a server.

    It all depends on how you implement it. He describes the text from images as using machine learning, which implies using an external API to do that translation.

    Storing cloud backups requires a server and storage, etc.

    It doesn't. You can have local models.

    Yes, it doesn't have to be the author's storage. Many, many apps implement it as adding the data to your Google Drive / Dropbox / whatever.
