Almost no serious user - private or company - wants to slurp their private data to cloud providers. Sometimes it is ethically or contractually impossible.

The success of AWS and Gmail and Google docs and Azure and Github and Cloudflare make me think this... probably not an up-to-date opinion.

By and large, companies actually seem perfectly happy to hand pretty much all their private data over to cloud providers.

yet they don't provide access to their children, there may be something in that.

We can't use LLMs at work at all right now because of IP leakage, copyright, and regulatory concerns. Hosting locally would solve one of those issues for us.

Yeah I would venture to say it’s closer to “the majority of the market” than “niche”
