Three clear advantages of a local first software:

1. No network latency, you do not have to send anything across the atlantic.

2. Your get privacy.

3. Its free, you do not need to pay any SaaS business.

An additional would be, the scale being built-in. Every person has their own setup. One central agency doesn't have to take care of all.

All of those advantages are also reason why businesses don’t adapt it…
