great stuff. you do have a security problem, which you've acknowledged. so you won't get customers that actually are invested in security. fortunately, that's a scant few. you shouldn't waste efforts chasing them. just do the right [security] things, which will satisfy the 99% that aren't complaining. you will never ever be able to address the actual security conscious because, well, you can't.

Why wouldn't they? If some companies are that invested in keeping their data off the cloud (on which I agree that those are few and far in between) I could easily this as an on-prem instance.

there goes the business model, including the velocity. do you even startup, bro? sorry for that. a cheeky way to say, growth rate is critical in a funded business like this. an on-prem product is hard enough, an on-prem security critical product, whose entire reason for on-prem is the security aspect? it would kill them.

on-prem doesn't even make sense for the 99% that aren't concerned about the security of it, as long as someone else is responsible for it.

lastly, the rate of implementation and tweaks to integrations for such a thing is going to be very, very high. there is just no sensible way to deploy this on-prem. (selling and supporting an on-prem product is very different from developing your own in-house solution.)
