For me and probably many other people, local has nothing to do with cost and everything to do with privacy

genuine question - what are you working on that needs that level of privacy? outside of NSFW stuff most API providers arent doing anything with your prompts

I would answer that, but it's private :)

I can think of several reasons: corporate policy, personal principles, NSFW stuff, illegal stuff
