I'm not sure I buy the idea of "people just don't want servers in their homes". I think the people who have figured out how to do it, have captured the value.

I'm not sure I buy the idea of "people just don't want servers in their homes". I think the people who have figured out how to do it, have captured the value. Some are hesitant to buy into that captured ecosystem. Many people who own 3D printers, plug them into a raspberry pi running something called "octo-pi". 3D printer people are more technical than most, but they're not allways coders and highly skilled IT people. Octo-pi's are open source, free as in beer, and free as in speech software. I know A LOT of people who go to pepole's houses, and say "hey that Alexa thing is cool, but why do you want Amazon to have a mic in your home". Lots of people see the value, many don't trust it.
