Earlier I was thinking it's maybe comparable to paying for Netflix vs torrenting and running Plex or something. For the majority of normal, mainstream users I feel like most would just pay for the thing that is already setup and ready for them. There'll still be all the more techy or determined types who will do it themselves, I just wonder what the percentages of both groups will be.

Nothing stopping turnkey OSS AI hardware being productised, including niceties like opt-in automated updates. If the trend continues of models becoming smaller and more capable for everyday use, it also derisks against obsolescence.
if we get to the stage where the AI hardware is a more of a commodity and usability becomes 10x simpler, then people may buy their own hardware and run local models.
Everybody owns a car, washer, TV, etc today. Maybe one could finance a server-box/trailer costing $20k, trade it in every 7 years for a newer model, etc. Many people are going to own a $20k Optimus.
The car, TV, washer, and whatever humanoid robot finds product market fit physically need to be in my house, or close to it, in order for them to be useful to me. Thanks to the Internet, the data center doesn't need to be, like at all. Economy of scale says that renting a slice of time on the most expensive GPU supercomputer out there is going to be faster and also probably cheaper since I'd only be getting a slice while the server is serving multiple users.
It sounds like you either didn't play enough or you are missing the new mechanics that get added over time. There's definitely more to it than just regular snake.
This reminds me of the 2021 Secret Sky online music festival put on by Porter Robinson. The 2020 one was similar but the 2021 version had little human-like avatars. Some other people and me were messing around with the browser console to do things like change our accent colours or change the location text above our heads to whatever else we wanted.
FYI this website sets off a bunch of Bitdefender alerts as being a suspicious web page. I assume probably false positives or something but still something you might want to look into.

This is sortof like how Only Connect switched from using Greek letters to Egyptian hieroglyphs. I'm not sure if it was a joke or not but it was said that viewers complained that the Greek letters were "too pretentious" and obviously the hieroglyphs weren't.
I’m fairly positive the Greek alphabet mixed in Latin would measure quite poorly for legibility, if anyone did that study. Long before it’s an issue of pretentiousness
I tried 22 old game EXEs I have and none of them worked. They would import and show the icon and some would open, but nothing would work and most wouldn't even close. They would either show various error messages when trying to open or just open in a broken/unusable state.
Something like this is used in some Discord servers. You can make a honeypot channel that bans anyone who posts in it, so if you do happen to get a spam bot that posts in every channel it effectively bans itself.
Most web forums I used the visit had something like that back in the day. Worked against primitive pre-LLM bots and presumably also against non-English-reading human spammers.
