IMO, it shows security is not a priority for them. Just because you're on LAN it doesn't mean encryption is insignificant. There also isn't really "LAN" there are just networks, so this necessitates using some sort of server even in the case where you have an IPv6 or IPv4 address that would otherwise allow you to directly connect to your peer.
