Data hosting is already optional in a "standard way" - you don't have to actually use it! You can still build your app, connect to your own database (e.g. MySQL) hosted on your own server, build a standalone or a web app and distribute it yourself.

Don't use Livecode Create. Privacy or Security concerns? Don't use Livecode Create. Backend requirements? Don't use Livecode Create. Hate busywork/paperwork? Don't use Livecode Create. DIY type or On a budget? Tough call." All unnecessary! A simple oversight: We need a STANDARD easy way to choose LC's data hosting or not. And a few other tweaks. Then everyone wins!
