NAS companies like synology have an offering too. The main problem is that they still live in 2012 when it comes to cpu power and sell vastly underpowered boxes

Price. I don't need CPUs to do rendering on my NAS, and wouldn't pay the premium for it.

The margins on these devices are already pretty high because they're enterprise and business focused - I "buy once cry once"'d when I bought my <vendor>* drive for the home. I would have bought a different vendor if I was forced to pay an additional premium for a render capable CPU.

(* - I'm probably tin foil hating here, but realized from a security posture perspective I don't want to publicly state the vendors I use in my network.)
