There were (and still are) a lot of advantages to being able to develop software on your own machine, disconnected from a network. Chiefly, that the only one who could break the setup was you, and if you improved your setup by making your build faster, etc., you got to reap the benefits.

Totally agree on this. There are things that belong in cloud, even a 3rd party one. Not everyone has a luxury of self-hosting. But keeping API secrets in any 3rd party cloud is just insane imho.
