I've been doing this for years with my tablet. The tablet honestly becomes 'less dumb' in the process though.

I agree some stuff moves towards this Orwellian centralisation of power - I use Geforce Now for games + Amazon Workspaces for work.

But I've also run VNC on servers I own myself for side-projects- you can own the dumb client and smart server if you need to.
