I could thank you for your time, for your effort, for humoring me. Etc. etc. etc.

I'll cut to the chase.

Your answer is basically "You have to do extra work". Which is the wrong answer when trying to replace tools whose major selling is reducing the amount of maintenance work I have to do. This response, unfortunately, commits the basic error of trying to solve a social problem with a technological solution. I don't want to take on the work of guarding the gates. I don't want to guard against potential abuse. I want these things done for me, so I can focus on the parts I care about.

The ability to put in work to monitor abuse and access control in a decentralized manner is not a significant improvement over the ability to do so in a centralized manner.

Oh, and if it interacts with other computers at all then I have to worry about server maintenance. A machine is only truly serverless in isolation. Which would make your tool interesting, but potentially less than maximally useful.
