    Why can’t I run firefox on my home server and just project the window as a video stream to my phone, like moonlight except for just the app, not the whole damn desktop !

      Higher battery usage, mostly. Especially on cellular service. Also font rendering can be pretty blurry, and any GPU playback would stutter (GIMP/FreeCAD would be painfully slow for rotating/panning), along with audio.

      You could, but if I’m away from home, I’ll take the movies / music / books with me so I can watch / listen / read without buffering, breaks, etx.
