The use case that excites me is transfer between servers/no X11. Just a single binary, no deps to worry about.

They could also be air gapped, both behind NATs and other non-standard topologies. ICE will take care of all the hard problems :)

> transfer between servers

A simple NC command would do.

Or something like python -m http.server and curl

Heh can't tell you how many times I've used that python http server. Sure enough no matter the OS if Python is installed, it gives me the edge if I can access machines behind the same network.

That wouldn’t work if they don’t have a direct connection (my main use case)

I have a bunch of servers with no public IPs split between different regions.
