 What would be the benefit of storing passwords/generating 2FA tokens on a private relay rather than a "normal" self-hosted server?

 Instead of a server/app that just does one thing your private relay can do all the things

 I'm kind of confused about this too.

So instead of having a VPS that runs the different services on it,
I have a VPS
that runs a relay
that all the applications access?

Is this not reinventing the wheel with an extra step?
