I don’t even think it’s what anyone really wants, but sure, let’s find a way to make some random server located somewhere run by some SaaS be responsible for negotiating rights to access our own hardware.

Yes, web access to hardware is a top priority, because for a large portion of everywhere compute hardware is leased by the hour.
