The problem is that model doesn't work very well for probably the most common computationally intensive task consumers do: games. It also doesn't work well with tasks involving non-trivial datasets. If you've got say 20GB of video from a Gopro you want to transcode, shipping it out to a datacenter is going to be really painful.
