Virtual android device in the cloud might be a great model for it since Android has good built-in security and process isolation.
Web apps don't magically produce their own compute, power and networking. They still need to be run on something.
(Web app does not automatically equal SaaS, especially in this case that is explicitly billed as self-hosted.)
I promise, everyone, it is very legal and very cool to just write applications that run without TCP roundtrips. I promise.
This sentence makes no sense to me. "Self-hosting" and "software as a service" are diametrically opposed things.
This seems extremely arbitrary and seems to assume some implicit definitions that are not common, and in fact are the opposite of what I've heard used.
IME software as a service generally speaking means somebody else is doing all the hosting and you as an end user just point your browser to it or in some cases install a local app (and often you put in your credit card and pay a monthly subscription). Self-hosting means you do all that hosting yourself. I've never seen something marketed as SaaS that expected you to host the server-side yourself, but I'd be happy to hear of an example.

That's a hell of a strawman against an argument I see nobody making.
(Rephrased to be less mean.)
