Those who don't have the time and desire to wire it all up probably make up a larger part of the market than those who do. It's a long-tail proposition, and that might be a problem.

I think your boss and your boss' boss are the audience they are going for. In my org there's concern over the democratization of locally run LLMs and the loss of data control that comes with it.
Mistral's product would allow IT or Ops or whatever department to set guardrails for the organization. The selling point that it's turn-key means that a small organization doesn't have to invest a ton of time into all the tooling needed to run it and maintain it.
Edit: I just re-read your comment and I do have to agree though. "game-changer" is a bit strong of a word.
