Because a lot of people aren’t home 24 hours a day, and thieves can steal cameras and computers. I use local storage for my security since I’m paranoid, but it’s more of a pain than Ring.

It's only a pain because someone didn't do the hard work for you. Local storage with mobile access should be an option for more products. I'm sure this is a solvable problem...

It's not the easiest solution but the trade-offs are necessary.

Likewise with the poor state of router security.

The cheapest options like Wyze do function this way but are vulnerable to any of the threats that the camera is trying to detect (theft, fire, etc)
