I am a professional in the field for many years and your version of the term is not widely accepted. There is a wikipedia page which describes the accepted definition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bare-metal_server
Man you guys are laughable, brandishing one wiki page like it's one true source. But nevermind that, several older ones were presented to you and crickets.
If you read again my comment you will see that I made a point about how common the term is. Once again, your version of the definition is just not wide-spread. If you do a google search for "bare-metal", the vast majority of pages refer to the definition that me and the other posted mentioned.
