Preferences

People want all kinds of things besides literal SMB shares:

- Other network protocols (NFS, ftp, sftp, S3)

- Apps that need bulk storage (e.g., Plex, Immich)

- Syncthing node

- SSH support (for some backup tools, for rsync, etc)

- You're already running a tiny Linux box in your home, so maybe also Pihole / VPN server / host your blog?

You've got compute attached to storage, and people find lots of ways to use that. Synology even has an app store.
