The "overwhelmingly cast majority of cases" will be an employee of a larger company, a person/computer that cannot be trusted with arbitrary access to data and exceptions to business rules in code.

Multi-user app (and if we're talking about companies, it's multiple users by the very definition) where users are not trusted almost always needs either a central service with all the access controls, or a distributed equivalent of it (which is, indeed, very hard to implement). “Local-first” in those cases becomes less relevant, it’s more of a “on-premises/self-host” in this case. But I think while end-user non-business software can be small compared to enterprise stuff, it is still a fairly big market with lots of opportunities.
