Except, of course, running, maintaining and developing the thing, all of which are quite earthly.

Except that would make it an order or two of magnitude more complicated, but that's irrelevant next to random people on the Internet armchair quarterbacking. And, of course, procuring a server and installing a node on it is much, much easier than just signing up on a website and inviting your neighbors. It's the perfect example, I can't think of any reason why they didn't do it that way. Oh, of course, advertising. That's it. Sorry, never mind me.
