I see, I do agree it is nice to have your data fully owned (like really) and safe on device (or devices), though, sometimes it doesnt feel like enough in the ever changing landscape of the internet.
Anyway, the important thing is being in control of your own data. With proper off-site backups and reproducible setups using containers, migrating between VPS providers should usually take just a few hours.
I fully understand the arguments for (and against) managing your own server. But I've not been convinced by any arguments for that server being in your house/office rather than a climate controlled warehouse somewhere.
Well, unless you enjoy setting up and managing the physical hardware yourself of course. That's fully reason enough.
