A nice side-effect of using a Fediverse caching server is — for some Fediverse software, it would enable the Fediverse software to run on a less expensive computer.

(For example, compressing and shrinking images can make the computer needs higher. If that is delegated to a caching server, etc, then the Fediverse server doesn't incur that higher computer needs. Which makes hosting less expensive.)
