This is right.

Self-hosting should become absurdly easy to become widely popular, and to become any popular around non-technical users.

Very easy Linux host setup (like that of AWS, Linode, DO, etc) + containers (podman or docker) or stuff like flatpack or appimage should solve most of that problem. What's missing form the picture is an easy (I mean laughably easy) way to connect services. Something like a patch panel should be created to control UFW / traefik / whatever, when apps don't snap together automatically.
