Yes, this. They need as much lock-in as possible before IPO. Most likely less about cash flow and more about IPO story telling.

We'll know for sure when they add full OpenClaw-like features to Claude Code like remote channels & heartbeat support. Both are partially implemented already.

> If Photoshop ran in the cloud

Off topic, but there is something like that: photopea, it's free and it's good enough for my use cases (I need it once a year maybe).

It's served from the cloud but it runs entirely on your PC (except the AI generative tools). It can't run entirely offline though, because the js, webassembly, and assets are served chunked as-needed.

Saying Photopea is good enough is really underselling it. It's so far ahead of anything offered by the open-source community.

I'd be so happy to pay for a fully offline version of Photopea!

Also lock-in to their harness so they can control caching on both ends and make things more profitable.
