Still I am not sure why I should use their paid service instead of using publicly available infrastructure. If they go out of business, get sold what's then? DNS and friends are not going to disappear and send me "it was great journey" e-mail. Maybe for some specific applications, like P2P chats, this makes sens, but how many of such applications are needed?

I've looked at the usecases page, obviously there is an AI stunt (which I don't buy at all), for POS applications, well, there are better and less risky (see above) ways to do this, so the only thing that seems to make sense is this real-time sync, if someone is in the restricted environment (but, the point is, that in the restricted environment iroh is going to be blocked anyway by firewalls, z-scaler, etc.).

They host a relay server that is available to everyone, but you are expected/recommended to use your own for most use cases, so you will have only depend on open-source code and your own infra.
