Because growth. Either by VCs insistence, or founders ambitions.

Or that they hired X people to build the identity bit and needed to build more to keep all funding and staff.

If they had separated it more under a suite of products then it would have been ok, instead of bundling it all in one client and service.

All I need is the web page for identity and the CLI for encryption and verification.

I don't need a heavy electron UI always running on my devices.
