That’s absolutely a reason to just use a web chat interface. Zero cost switching between providers when one isn’t performing. Second, your data are spread between providers which reduces surveillance effectiveness.

You can't really do any serious work with a chat interface though. Also, you're still wasting time figuring out if your providers do what you expect. If you run a local model then you know it's going to work the way you set it up in perpetuity.
