Agreed. The scary part is that memory requirements quietly define who is allowed to be a prover. If ZK infra assumes 64–128GB RAM by default, decentralization is already lost, regardless of the cryptography. Streaming-first designs feel like a prerequisite for permissionless proving, not just an optimization.
