Ollama allows me to use a single podman command, which uses the latest version of ollama, downloads a model of my choosing, and starts a local http endpoint widely supported by different clients. I can just run this one command to chat with a local model through a web interface, get code completions in VSCode, ask about the content of my local Markdown notes. Now, I don't use AI that much, I could totally live without this. But if it weren't for the robust one-liner I probably wouldn't use local LLMs at all.
