Biggest issue with XetHub is current lack of open source. They have a way better storage design than DVC, but open source is absolutely necessary. If I can't give someone else zero-cost instructions to reproduce my research then my research becomes far less useful.

Perhaps industry will pay for this, but non-free software is a deal breaker for someone who wants to advance science.

I'm guessing this is unintentional, but you talk like XetHub has been a thing for a while. I even went to see what had I missed, and for what I gathered it's a startup that just emerged from it's stealth status like, five days ago (from its twitter status it's more like three weeks, but still). They'll probably opensource the core tech as a freemium like almost everything else in the current convoluted MLOps landscape.
