Rise Source File - downloadable yet?

Hi, I know this subject has been brought forward before. I went through YEARS of comments and questions and who knows... maybe I missed the answer. 

Is there a way to download the source file? If not... why not?

Here are scenarios where the use of Rise causes many problems because of the source file only being available through the cloud. (Those listed negate the use of Rise for any projects)

  1. I'm a vendor and the client wants the source files after the project is complete. They paid me - it's their property. I can't give it to them. It makes no difference that i can share or collaborate the file with whoever, it puts the customer provider relationship in a bad spot.
  2. Regulatory requirements. Files for some industries have to be stored on a validated system. Can't do that with Rises cloud.
  3. Security for proprietary information. My information is on a cloud not in any of my secure systems. Now I can't use Rise. 
  4. I have paid for the subscription, the source is my property. If I end my subscription the files go away.

I'm sure other users could come up with numerous other scenarios. 

I could be wrong and there is a way to download the source file and I missed it. If so, just point me to the instructions and I thank you immensely.  If not I think Articulate should definitely reexamine and reprioritize having this ability. There has to be a way. If anyone at Articulate responds to this, I'd prefer something better than - we are looking into this (seen that in posts from the last 7 years) or the alternative of sharing or collaborating (again seen in posts from the last 7 years). I'd like to know why it can't be done (and more than just - it's because it's cloud based).

Thanks for reading though my rant.
