Cloud first is fine as long as there's a fallback. Photon has a fallback.

Can you name something that's stuck on the cloud on a technical level and also couldn't be substituted with a mild dev effort?

Right now I don't think it's a good money making opportunity. Becoming one would need Photon or some other significant service provider completely refusing to license their software in a way that's compatible with this law, and assurance that they'll continue to refuse while I build my entire product around supplementing/replacing them.
