No, we're just lazy.
From what I heard it's a bloodbath at the bottom.
I don't have a Copilot PC, but if you still need to pay MS to run the model on your own hardware it's laughable.
Besides, you need to sign-in and pay to use that feature. It's very obvious that's not local.
Grok actually shows a number of sources used for an answer. Once I asked it something simple and it apparently scanned 200 different websites. And it was just a short prompt. Now imagine millions of users asking for something multiple times a day.
Personally I find it faster to figure out the hard parts by myself and then give a few smaller tasks to Claude.
Apparently those games supposed to be hard.
I use AI agents every day at work and I'm happy with that, but it took over two years and billions of dollars in investment to deliver anything useful (Claude Code et al). The current models are amazing, but they still randomly make mistakes that even a junior wouldn't make.
There's another paradigm shift to be made certainly, because currently it feels like we scaled up a bug brain to spit out code. It works great for some problems, but it's not what software developers usually do at work.
I don't know what happens with Home Edition, but I though the pushback was mainly from Insider Preview?
Personally I use coding agents for boring parts (I really don't enjoy putting the same piece of string to 20 different classes just to register a new component) and they work quite well, I'm going to use them for foreseeable future, because they make coding much more enjoyable for me. On the other hand I don't have an OpenClaw box burning billions of tokens weekly for me, because I usually don't have ideas that could be clearly specified.
