Sure, they may not distinguish those things publicly, but in their internal 
development teams it is very likely that they understand these boundaries. And 
just for another quick example, from the Azure site:

https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/overview/azure-vs-aws/

"We are the only cloud provider recognized in the industry as having leading 
solutions in IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS. And Azure PaaS platform services can help 
you be more productive and increase your ROI according to this Forrester Total 
Economic Impact study.”

So I don’t think that this distinction is peculiar to OpenStack.
