For an alternate take, as a developer I really don't have a problem with downloading and running it myself. If I were seriously evaluating it, I would 1) have to do that anyway, and 2) a hosted demo wouldn't be sufficient.

Not offering the demo may be a problem for tourists who aren't seriously considering this, but probably not for parties that are in the process of looking for something like this for a real use case.

That was my starting point when I was thinking about this. However it seems there’s a lot of users who just don’t want to do that initial investment, so having a demo would potentially help in converting them.
