Could Western forces revisit seaplanes?

The small Privateer, described as apparently kit-built, uses a pusher propeller. Its existence shows that Western seaplane design activity continued, even though its limited capacity suggests at most a role carrying a very small special-forces team. Military use remains hypothetical. The procurement criticism is that pursuing the best-performing system can leave too little thought for operations under worst-case conditions. The closing question is whether Western forces should reconsider seaplanes as contingency tools when normal infrastructure is lost or unavailable.
