I know I certainly don't. I want to write my software and I want to be able to deploy it somewhere and manage the things I may care about for that specific software. As much as possible I don't want to have to care about hardware, or routing, or server administration, or user permissions, etc. Learning it once? Sure. Dealing with it every time I have a new project? No thanks.
So, I totally agree. decentralization and privacy on their own are difficult to market, as they aren't nearly as in demand as convenience.
Amen. I don't even get why most companies have Dev-ops. For the price of one Dev-ops you can get the most expensive plan on many providers. Running the most expensive Heroku plan (with a concierge service) is cheeper than an employee, and office space, and medical insurance, and ....
And that's just the one provider I know.
I want to type git push master, and that's the end of my involvement in standing things up.
