> There are a number of reasons why on-device deployment of Stable Diffusion in an app is preferable to a server-based approach. First, the privacy of the end user is protected because any data the user provided as input to the model stays on the user's device. Second, after initial download, users don’t require an internet connection to use the model. Finally, locally deploying this model enables developers to reduce or eliminate their server-related costs.

Stability! The main reason why I use it locally is because I don't want some random dev unilaterally deciding to change or "sunsetting" features I rely on.

Centralized services small and large are guilty of this and I'm sick of it.
