Maybe you've got a point here.  Would this configuration exist anywhere:
an xPL Hub (as service) + windows applications (not service) ?

I did make the assumption that xPL apps using xPL Lib would be running
as services, not as regular windows applications.

If a user has xpl windows applications and no xpl services then it is
of course better to have a dedicated hub...  It seems rare to me.

I suggest the following amendment:
- give the developer the possibility to prohibit their app to be hub
- advice developers to do so in case their app is not a service
