Money. Disabling a Mac for 24 hours after 10 minutes of use means you have to buy much more hardware than you'd have to if a single Mac could be utilized by many people for short periods of time. Some users would use a single Mac for days/weeks/months but others will want to boot, run a build, and be done. The actual work might take 5 minutes or 3 hours but you pay for a day no matter what. Days where you're doing the same short-lived task many times won't be as expensive per build, but if you just want to do a nightly build, you're paying for months or years and utilizing a fraction of the compute time you're buying. |
