Because you appear completely oblivious and deliberately naive about the entire purpose of CI.

  Based on my experience I really do think most people are using it for things that they could perfectly well do locally with far less complication. Perhaps that isn't most use of it; the big projects are really big.

    Care to provide examples? Fundamentally, yes, what you run in a CI pipeline can run locally. That's doesn't mean it should. Because if we follow this line of thought, then datacenters are useless. Most people could perfectly host their services locally.

      > Because if we follow this line of thought, then datacenters are useless. Most people could perfectly host their services locally. There are a rather lot of people who do argue that? Like, I actually agree that non-local CI is useful, but this is a poor argument for it.

        I'm aware of people arguing for self-hosting some services for personal use. I'm not aware of people arguing for self-hosting team or enterprise services.

          Well, they are. Selling the team or enterprise a license to do just that is a rather large part of many businesses.
