It's a more plausible scenario, to me, that browsers will become more strict w/ CA verification. Non-technical users will be permitted easy access to resources secured by third-party-signed certificates. They'll be forced to plumb into the confusing depths of their browser / OS to make changes that would allow access to resources protected with untrusted certificates (assuming they're even allowed to make such changes, which I think will also eventually be taken away).
Nobody in the industry wants anything locally-hosted by end users to work well. Locally-hosted means not "cloud"-hosted. That means no sweet, sweet recurring subscription revenue stream or centrally-stored user data to "monetize".

This doesn't work for things like routers and modems that need to be configured before you can even access the cloud.
- EvanAnderson 6y agoThere have been "cloud" router products already. Cisco / Linksys had some, if memory serves. Have the router pull DHCP from the ISP, call home to the mother ship, then have the user configure it with an "app" on their phone. The vast majority of router buyers don't want to configure anything anyway.
