I assume you only ever use self hosted source control then? And then where is it hosted?

For private business code, yes? Of course.

It's very easy to host your own GitLab server if you need a fancy web interface, and even easier to just put Git anywhere if you don't.

Version control is probably the easiest thing to self host for both individuals and enterprises, but that's still very different from Copilot. A Git service provider will have access only to what I choose to push, but Copilot gets access to what I'm TYPING. It's scary, at least for me.
