It sounds really useful, but it's a non-starter if I need to give sensitive financial data to some startup where any engineer can probably log into the DB and check how much money I have left.

I saw a tweet recently to the effect of "I'm not sure who I'd rather have my data, a giant megacorp or a startup with 5 employees who can query the DB from their laptop." I think this is a good example of that.

I would use this if it included encrypted data storage with client-side computation, and/or was self-hostable (you can still charge a license fee!)
