Hardly a week goes by without one folding due to hacking, mismanagement, or outright criminal activity. Seems like they need someone to keep up the churn or they might run low.

You can’t steal the tokens if you are running a 0x exchange.

That's not true. Nostrademons [0] explains it better, but in short, trades occur atomically, so the assets never leave your possession.

They do leave you and go into the relay. The swap happens on finished contracts.
The stealing occurs in the relays not in the contract.

I think you have a misunderstanding of how the protocol works. At no point do your assets "go into the relay." The relay only takes your signed orders (not the actual assets), and the tokens literally do not leave your wallet until the time the trade is executed. No trades can be executed unless they have a signature generated by your private key.

So, no. The answer is no.
EDIT: it's absurd that people continue to fall for this nonsense, but here we are, I guess.

0x is a decentralized, non-custodial exchange protocol. The UI could have malware though, which is why it makes sense for various relayers to have a single UI.
