Sure, but we could have Hetzners and OVHs who just provide the compute for whatever model we want to run.

I agree. We will need hardware ownership as well eventually. But the earlier you open-source, the more you slow down the centralization because people will be more likely to buy hardware to run stuff at home and that gives hardware companies an opening to do the right thing.
