Particularly an explosion of SaaS sandboxes... why should I pay a subscription for some remote sandbox with paltry compute power, which I need a constant internet connection to access? I have this brilliant processor in my own laptop I want to use that I have already paid for, I don't want to use someone else's!

Some companies only allow access through a VDI like Windows Remote Desktop or some VMWare setup. It’s crazy.
For a very good reasons. Not everyone needs a full blown, powerful laptop/desktop to run their server-side tools in the browser.
