Probably, but what percentage of people do use X remotely, actually?
Does it make sense to design the solution around that use case? Or would it be better to design things around the *common* use case (computing and display on the same node), specially when alternative solutions do exist?

I can't tell you how common it is, or isn't. I don't see how you could claim that you know that non-remote use is so common that the remote case should be disregarded, either.
