If you just read my comment and arrived at the conclusion that private compute is the solution, you misunderstand the issue at hand.

Networking compute isn't an issue. Compute architecture is.

Sure so then ask yourself what advantages could an NPU have over a general purpose GPU. Your assumption is that Apple has erred. However if security was top priority, then that could make NPU make sense in the long run. And then ask why security is so important… it becomes vastly more important when your device is operating on other people’s workloads.
