This is part of it, but frankly Joe Average doesn't have the ability to
set up, maintain, secure, and run an open database server.

No, that's not correct.  The goal for the end of this year is the C++
rewrite.  Turning GnuCash into a "true" database app is a longer-term
project, more like ~3 years out.

Sure, but I expect the majority of users wont.  What's the point of a
mobile app that only works when you're on your home wifi?
