Totally fair point. For me it was just a nice primitive to have -- just one command gives the agent a VM with SSH, file sync, browser, GPU ready to go. Instead of dealing with cloud account setup, security groups, SSH keys, and other shenanigans. For cloudrouter, the dependencies/Docker/VNC/Juypter Lab come pre-baked so you don't need to think about configuring VM environment setups...

You can but I have to say that there's value in a tool that lets the ai do it using less tokens.
