No.

We would rent a proprietary terminal that also needs a paid subscription to a computing service.

“In this supply-constrained environment, efficiency of centralized control only makes sense!”

“For whom? Also, why is the supply constrained in the first place?”

“Well, we used hype from central bank-level investors to lend us enough to buy up all the supply. We have sooo much debt that we need every penny of efficiency we can get.”

“For whom?

Makes (financial) sense for the central controller's business model to succeed.
