I am not worried too much about corporate surveillance. I can always shop somewhere else. I can't change my government.

I use DDG because I don't like Google. I can't do the same with my government.

Fair enough, and in a sense I don't even really disagree, but my point is essentially that self-hosting eliminates the class of problems almost entirely, meaning there would be no need to rely on this kind of 2nd order competition at all.
