It's a really good question

context: I have a near-100% naive perspective. Mobile dev whose built out something approximating Perplexity on Supabase. I have to use edge functions for ex. CORS, but by and large, logic is all in the app.

Probably because the client is in Flutter, and thus multiplatform & web in one, I see manipulating the input on both the client and server as code duplication and error prone.

I think if I was writing separate native apps, I'd push everything through edge functions, approximating your point: better to have that sensitive logic of what exactly is committed to the DB in one place.
