Seriously doubt each person will have their own mini-cloud with recordings just for them - that would end up with an infinite amount of space being required.

Why not just offer 2Tb or 4Tb V6 boxes? There was originally supposed to be a 2Tb option, this was quietly dropped by Virgin.
Yes, it's more a bookmark than a recording by the individual.

The reason cloud recording might be preferable to VM is that it would be cheaper for STBs not to include a recording function. Broadcasters would prsfer access to the cloud so they could control and monetise their shows.
