I don't think it is that is more polished, it's just you pay for them to do the stuff you need to do yourself with reverse proxying, opening ports, securing stuff. This is only an issue if you are sharing outside your network of course.

    This is why mesh vpn technology is so exciting, all of the nonsense that we've developed to cope with broken Network standards that develops because ipv4 didn't have enough addresses to accommodate the end-to-end principle just melts away. Tailscale works wonders for me, And the technology is only going to get better from there
