Well, as I think about it, it's interesting because although you're right that specialization and centralization is cheaper, if I'm Ordinary Joe and I want to make some money while my home PC would otherwise be idling, I can still sell my compute resources cheaper than someone running it as a serious business because anything is more than zero and I have essentially no upkeep costs to cover.
Granted, that kind of resource is only fit for some kinds of workloads, and I could be thinking about it wrong. But if this holds up, then I'd think the bottom's about to drop out of the cost of low-requirement cloud computing even though I expect this will not challenge the optimized cloud giants for large workloads.
