Is Homomorphic Encryption really a step forward?

... or aren't we supposed to work on schemes to better and more easily move computation to data?

Asking for a friend...

Let's say it's secret encrypted data, and only someone remote has the key (or more likely, someone who doesn't trust you ;-). Then, in order to move the computation to the data, you'd have to be able to do computation on data that is still encrypted. That's what homomorphic encryption is all about!
