I think the point is that that database is too large to store on a single machine which is why it has to be ad-hoc queried and cached. I mean it will have the signature of every program run on a Mac.

Funny how DNS has that same issue, and yet, we still decentralized it to a point, even if there is some inertia going on to keep it as centralized as possible.
