That is true, and it is unfortunate.  There may be no practical way
to run a certain model except for SaaSS.

That does not alter the injustice of SaaSS.  So we should not silence
our criticism of SaaSS in those cases,

If a user decides to run that model as SaaSS, given this situation,
that is per responsibility.  We will not try to prevent per from
doing so,  But we should inform per of the injustice so perse can
make that decision aware of the injustice.  This is very important.
