There's a value for many people and organizations with running a model locally on hardware they fully own and control (or pay to colocate in a datacenter somewhere) vs running a model on something owned/controlled by any third party. For highly privacy sensitive, medical applications, etc. It's not just a question of raw efficiency in dollar per tokens per day or tokens/second.
