from a supabase POV (which is in the business of hosting Postgres databases), we will definitely be using this for training/tutorials. We have several thousand visitors to our docs every day, and hosting a database for every one of them is expensive.
We can now provide a fresh database for every user, and they can "save/restore" it with the click of a button is huge.

The offline use-case is definitely far-fetched in the current iteration. but that's the beauty of technology - something that seems impossible today can be mainstream in a decade.
