Redundancy, local storage is a single point of failure. You can use local SSD’s as slow RAM, but anything on it can go away at any moment.

Distributed clusters of things can work just fine on ephemeral local storage (aka local storage). A kafka cluster or an opensearch cluster will be fine using instance local storage, for instance. As with everything else.... "it depends"
