Self-hosting has become shamefully easy now with Docker Hub and cheap VPSen in the "cloud".

It really is a one-liner to spin up a new service on your server nowadays.

I mean, it is a one-liner, but only if you know what to do with that line -- linking to a URL in a message or putting a URL in the URL bar is the most complex one-liner you can reasonably require non-tech types to do, in my experience.

Technology that aims to serve that audience should be reasonably usable for that audience.

and a credit card to pay monthly fees (which may or may not increase dramatically)
