It was less a generalization and more anecdote, of which, my jaw dropped. Yeah, the route issuer is the obvious first thought. But I'm not sure the solution is the one everything box. If you reboot your AI-router-node-nas-wallet-mediaplayer every night I'm not sure that's a great experience.

Then, once you do have that one everything box, the next issue is backups, reliability, etc...

I'm not trying to be over critical. I spent a decent amount of time noodling a node like solution but when you put the dollar sign next to performance hardware to do all those things, its not as affordable as consumers would like.

Modularity might be fun. Or different boxes for different use-cases.

I think Synology and QNAP do it quite well. You can install modules, they have different versions with different price points, etc.
