At a previous job, we self hosted our version control software, and when it broke, you could practically hear the money being poured down the drain, as the SREs scrambled to figure out why and get us back into a working state. At least when things break locally, they (usually) don't break for everyone. I get that there are pros and cons to each pattern, but I agree that the remote dev crowd is glossing over the fact that these remote envs break too, and the impact is huge.
