What is the biggest group of people that uses local AI? Students who don’t want to pay but somehow have hardware? Devs who are price conscious?

I kinda think about it like Linux- there’s an audience for it but most people will just use Windows. Are AI capabilities in a local device necessary even in whatever future self serving state some companies are pushing?

It feels like we do it because we can more than because it makes sense- which I am all for! I just wonder if i’m missing some kind of major use case all around me
