> You self-host things that are easily self-hostable.

Exactly, which is why you can self-host e-mail, as there are turnkey packages available for that. Self-hosting e-mail does generate some extra workload, but that's atypical, and has to do with a) somewhat arcane tech that's underpinning e-mail, and b) whether it works or not with a wider ecosystem depends a lot on where you're self-hosting it. That b) in particular is not something you encounter elsewhere.

As for error reporting... I'm gonna risk asking: what's the challenge making it hard to self-host?
