"or give players the option to host their own servers"

That's the main goal. Big corpo doesn't want that.

Considering entire games are being decompiled with relative ease and quickly and that even the entire Adobe creative suite has been reverse engineered, cloned and made cross platform, I don't see why the same couldn't be with regard to hosting server support.

It's somewhat fitting and ironic that the very big corpos who pushed and shoved AI down our throats, not to mention mess up the pricing of consumer products by all that data center build out ram hording, laying off / firing developers and replacing them with AI, are now being screwed over by their own medicine.
