Not sure what you mean by this.
GPL s/w runs on all desktop OSs, and at least on Android (see many examples on F-DROID).
Maybe you're refering to iOS? I'm not sure about the collsion between GPL and Apple's terms.

But I think I misunderstood your point, you were focused on the GPLv3 itself. Which I don't think prohibits running on any computer as you say.
But to your first point:
I'm not a lawyer (thankfully), but my interpretation of GPL: that the s/w source must be published if the s/w is "distributed", would require the source of SaaSS s/w to be published, since the "service" is distributing that s/w.
Is that not correct?
If it's running on their machine, they're not distributing it; users don't actually receive the software to run themselves and are instead making requests to a server that is running the software. (Client software would be different, of course.) I am also not a lawyer so perhaps take with a grain of salt.
