The primary challenge with building local first software is the sync layer. The current 3rd party offerings are not mature. And people have been working on these for a few years. Electric SQL comes to mind.

Nobody at my work knew anything about it. And we do have software engineers. I suspect only the very large orgs with expensive accountants were complying. And pay now vs later thing didn't really matter that much to them anyway.
