Is this a feature developers are asking for?
Yes.
I want to develop in Rust from my MBP, which means running clippy and my tests. However, it has a shoddy battery, and will power off if I do anything too intensive (like doing a long compile).
With this feature, I can push the IDE backend to my 5800X pop_os desktop sitting at home, run all the compiles there remotely, and enjoy working from my MBP remotely (without the scalding CPU exhausts onto my lap, or the severe battery drainage).

Definitely for me. I love MacOS’s UI and the way it renders the screen, apps and web sites. However, the runtime is not standard (not Linux) and it can be underpowered, depending on the hardware configuration. This feature lets me use the best of both worlds: nice UI and standard, powerful backend runtime.
