I'm all for the idea of self-hosting in abstract, but in practice I don't want to spend my life looking after services.

I'm all for the idea of growing your own rice, but in practice I'd rather pay someone else to do it for me.

I'm not trolling, I'm just emphasizing a super super important aspect which HNers tend to minimize, which is that self-hosting is work and even people who are technically able to do it might not want to.
