Unlocked SaaS, file source as truth?
Many saas store users’ content within their database. Would it better for the user if databwere stored locally eg on the user’s mac finder?

This is a classic argument. There are pros and cons to both sides. Cons of SaaS are its a honeypot for hackers and privacy. Cons for local are you become the IT department. If your Mac fails or is stolen, you lose data unless stored/synced elsewhere.
Generally, HSI (Highly Sensitive Information) or proprietary data, local-first with E2EE is the gold standard. This is an area of debate for a lot of people.
