Sadly all of those decentralized / federated app all have this same accessibility issue.

Maybe there is some sort of business case, or at least some preliminary solution to get there, that offers a middle ground between "you're only the customer of our SaaS" and "you have to be your own IT department"? something like a standardized cloud-ready deployment, where instead of only d/l the server side app, the site also points you to the cloud providers that also support that app (or this standard) so that you're just 3 clicks away from running your own instance.

That'd be nice, not sure it would pay for the team developing that standard though.

I can't think of any projects that use it off the top of my head, but i'm pretty sure i've seen "one click setup" buttons for heroku and digital ocean

binder is kinda similar for python jupyter notebooks

edit: after looking at the github, they actually have this with YunoHost (whatever that is): https://install-app.yunohost.org/?app=peertube
