That would indeed go a long way towards resolving the issues caused by the way SaaS is done. It would let us decouple compute provider from the service, in a way in which it would be the end users who are free to chose where the computation happens, and they'd own all the data by default, while the business secrets and IP of the service provider would still be protected.
Shame to see it's so computationally expensive, I was really hoping this kind of computing would take off.
