Hi, thanks a lot for your detailed feedback. Appreciate it!
Yes, some of the issues which you mentioned, came up from others also regarding building the complex feature or if the company is shutting down or getting acquired.
Data residency issue came up with a fintech startup, which needed data locally in their country.
The way we might have to plan is, to have the source code option available in one of the top 5 programming languages and that shouldn't be consuming our APIs/Services, so it have to be 100% detachment from the platform, otherwise it kills the purpose.
To make it affordable/viable for us, we are planning to have a one time code export fee (so that people stick to the platform) and only choose that option when they want to do it for some reason like you mentioned above.
The good thing is that we will have to be very very GOOD, so that the users stick to us. If they are not happy with the service, then they can leave the platform and host themselves (atleast they will not have to start from scratch) and may end up building complex applications with the aim to export the code if things aren't working out.
One sideback i am seeing is that what is users are not able to use the code properly (everyone has their own coding standards) and then they might end up feeling frustrated and may need to do a lot of refactoring to make the code more readable in their standards.
Non-tech people might find it much harder to use the code and we may have to end up providing the one time hosting/deployment service as well or find partners who can do so on our behalf, otherwise code export will be of no use for these non-tech users.
