Indeed! It's not just about privacy either. The less the reliance on someone else's servers the less likely that a subsequent shutdown is going to impact you (whether by acquisition or otherwise).
FWIW I'd like to see approaches like this applied to personal servers so that the device doesn't have to do all the heavy lifting but the code still runs close to the user. The approach I'm taking is based on unikernels http://nymote.org/blog/2013/introducing-nymote/
