Same here, I only ever see any Pi graphics during the initial setup.

I guess the use case here is something like a remote workstation easily accessible from any device.

You can configure a lot of the initial setup in the rasp flashing tool so even initial doesn’t need graphics or vid out

Yeah; I think this service is more targeted at beginners / GUI users, not at people running Pis remotely hosting little services. For those of us who do that, a self-managed VPN or Tailscale is the better option.

I think I may be old-man-yells-at-cloud-ing here, but maybe making products to solve all these use cases for a beginning user is just what an educational tool like raspberry pi shouldn't be doing. Inconveniences like this are what really spurred on my own education in operating systems and networking, making me ask "ok, well, how can I do this myself?"
