    I suppose the point is that those are mostly selling location and networking, the processing is essentially incidental.

    They don’t have reason to mind consumers being able to have lots of processing, memory, and storage. They have plenty of hooks to track the users and gain control of their data, and tracking users and holding their content hostage is very profitable without having to fight users.

    Self hosting isn’t a threat to them, local gaming rigs isn’t a threat.
