technically there is a lot it could do, but it would not be a number 1 pick for any of it (even if you only have a $100 budget) so i agree, get rid of it.

you can still use a yubikey or even a password manager like keepassxc with passkeys, no need for any google/apple or even secure enclave.

There is already gridcoin which is a cryptocurrency that awards boinc work, so I'd say this concern has already been addressed because of that.

cock.li but it doesn't encrypt your inbox so keep that in mind.

xpra: it is like tmux but for X windows (works on wayland), but it can do much more than that. You can seamlessly run GUI programs from a container or VM on your main desktop while still sandboxing their X capabilities, forward windows from Windows desktops, and it has efficient encoding so it is usable over poor connections as well.

As a Go dev, its simplicity is arguably taken too far. For example there are no union types or proper enums

The main benefit is since it is locally installed, it is harder for proton's server to access your encrypted data by serving you malicious JS. A malicious desktop app/update could be served too, but that may be trickier.
