It came to my attention the other day, that there's such a term as "Native Cloud". What do you think about this? Personally I think it's completely nonsense and can only imagine it's a term created by companies with software that is not able to work as cloud at all, then they create a semi version or something different where they target cloud and call it native cloud.

Do you mean Cloud Native? If so, it is a legitimate endeavor under the Cloud Native Computing Foundation to create technologies that are cloud-provider agnostic; that is, they can run natively on AWS, Azure, GCP, etc. without the need for adapters or shims. Kubernetes, originally developed by Google, is the most prominent Cloud Native technology. Others include Prometheus, gRPC, NATS, and Helm.
I think the promise of not being bound to a single cloud provider forever (cough, cough, AWS) because your software is so tightly coupled to its services is really exciting.
