> all the trouble and extreme stigma of injecting yourself

IM and subQ is surprisingly not much trouble, as long as you have a relatively pure dissolvable compound and safe solvent (various oils or bacteriostatic water) it takes like 2 minutes and $1.50 in supplies (a $0.25 syringe, two $0.25 needles, and a $1 PVDF/PETF 0.22um syringe filter). Not much more hassle than at-home insulin or TRT injections.

But definitely a huge stigma, and often the pharmacokinetics of IM/subQ administration aren't desirable for many drugs.
