It makes me think (dangerous, I know) ... I find it odd to use the term "self host" when referring to a third-party cloud. It's someone else's servers and network and electric bill, after all.

Pedantry aside, yeah that seems expensive given the amount of convenience offered. But much more convenient than setting up a server in your basement with a UPS and external backup drives and such.

Self hosting is a scale. But the point is you have the ability to host it how you want. Whether that be on a cloud service that you just throw a docker container at, to a VPS with root, to a bare metal machine co-hosted, to in your basement, the choice is yours.
