When an idea like this strikes but doesn't take off there's definitely an element of "before it's time" but it's also really hard to get people to adopt opinionated development models unless it's part of a bigger language ecosystem or brand which can offer the scale of opportunity like an app store. There's been attempts to do this without the opinions e.g deploy docker containers but the reality is we do actually need a cohesive vision for the end user for anything like this to take off. Catering to the developers alone in the self hosted model is very hard. And I know Kenton tried hosting too. It's just a tough business all around.
