I mean, you have the ability to run Deekseek locally if you want and you have the hardware.

I find paying for Claude significantly less offensive than paying for e.g. Creative Cloud, because I'm largely paying for the compute resources.

If you have the hardware. And where does this leave the person who owns a used $100 ThinkPad?

Heck, I know a web developer who was using a raspberry pi as their main workstation.

Prior to AI the person with a used ThinkPad wasn’t really at a disadvantage when it came to most development tasks.
