They're also getting into cloud compute given you can use the desktop app to work in a temporary sandbox that they provision for you.

I was about to call it reselling but so many startups with their fingers in the tech startup pie offer containerised cloud compute akin to a loss leader. Harking back to the old days of buying clock time on a mainframe except you're getting it for free for a while.
