If the customer base is less technically adept, wouldn't most of them not care and just upload it to a cloud service? I ask sincerely - recently I've realized I don't have as firm of a grip on the 'average consumer' as I thought.

I just started testing fixpdfs.com, and some of the first feedback I heard when I asked users about pricing was "I'd rather download an app that does this than pay a subscription"
I would only trust my PDFs to Adobe, Microsoft, AWS, etc: the big players, very well-known, that are not going to use the content of the PDFs against me. And of course I'd rather use something that runs completely on my laptop.
