I can see how that kind of makes sense. But if you ask people to run it from multiple machines chances are they will throw their hands up and say too hard and not self host at all?

Agreed and that would be a reason not to self host at all, if security is critical, because it IS difficult.

For example, driving is convenient. That doesn’t mean someone who has never driven before should just drive. It’s definitely better for them to taxi.

It’s a hard problem - we have to make things easier for people.

When King Sejong saw that people were illiterate, he didn’t try to force everyone to suddenly learn a difficult language - he just made an easier one.

Now korea is 99.9% literate.
