I kind of one in the future if there will be a publicly trustable, free to use "just plug and play, you don't need to set up your own" ccache

Think of the energy savings implications

Imagine every unoptimized build job for every microservice (Rust in Docker pulls the entire Cargo registry + rebuilds all dependencies every time you make a source code change of any kind if you don't go out of your way to prevent it)

Obviously trusting a public source to just compile something for you and give you a binary-like object is... probably a malware distributor's dream.

And I don't have data to prove the bandwidth cost would offset the energy savings of CPU cycles recalculating the same stuff over and over.

Interesting though...

You mean like using IPFS for compilation caching? Or something else secure and content-addressable.
