This hasn't been asked in a while, and I really loved reading the last discussion so I'm hoping to kick it off again and see what has changed!

What I'd like to know is:

- What specific products do you wish you could host on your own infrastructure, but the product does not offer such a deployment method

- Do you or would you use the product without being able to self-host? I.E. In its current state

- Do you think your employer, if any, holds the same opinions?

hmm, for Apple a MDM Push certificate is the link between the two, for Google the managed play store, neither of these have a "requirement" for a SaaS solution.

both of these are just to connect the device to the MDM platform via a "managment profile" (waves hands), the settings and enforcement is all on the MDM platform.

A very long time ago (the days of the 3G) I had an internal web server that hosted iPhone configuration profiles, it was very (very) "basic"

Granted this is only for Apple (and with a last commit in 2022 might be dead) but is useful for showing what part connects where to do what.
