Not even that much. The browser viewer is cloud rendered and so even
if it wasn't seriously limited (and it is) it would require dedicating
a fairly high end cloud server instance (with CPU and GPU) to EACH
logged in user. That might eventually be plausible, but right now it'd
be like taking on the cost of about 10 additional grids with no
additional income.
