Indeed - having a huge NAS that all of your home computers back up to, which then backs up to Backblaze would be an obvious workaround for buying multiple licenses ... although why go to that trouble when it's $6 a month per computer? That's one fancy coffee.
But people also tend to use Linux on machines with lots of disk space, like home servers. Wouldn't it be nice if those could backup their 30TB locally attached storage with the unlimited plan? Nope, not for Backblaze, which is why they shy away from Linux and try to get Linux users to buy their pay-per-Gigabyte plan (for which they miraculously are able to provide Linux support...).
