    The end user experience for your website would be terrible and inconsistent

    The internet is a massive hodge-podge of different devices. There’s literally no difference in how it’s done now already. Walking through my datacenter I see 10th gen dells still in service.

    phones don’t have the kind of uptime and availability that you would need

    For homelab? or setting up a personal lemmy instance? It really depends on the purpose. And the premise from the OP has been “personal”.

    keeping them plugged in 24/7 in a closet doing computational tasks is a good way to end up with battery bulge and one spicy mini pillow.

    Many phones do “only charge to 80%” sort of setting. Negates this nearly completely.

    Fortunately it doesn’t matter what I want to allow and is up to the cellular service providers which have all kinds of stipulations about what constitutes as service abuse and using an inordinate amount of bandwidth is usually one of them.

    Phones can connect to other services you know… It’s not all about cellular. And many phone companies suppose home/business connections over their network.

    So for security safety and service stability reasons, yeah, there is no legitimate reason why it SHOULD be allowed.

    There’s tons of legitimate reasons… Such as I want to do what I want with my device.
