I never understood the "de-risk" things angle. Is the idea that you'd self host if the service went under?

Yes, or a new company could post on Reddit, "would anyone like this service?" and spin up a replacement. Probably not worth it in this instance, but I imagine a lot of people sleep better at night knowing that Postgres is available to self-host, or from a variety of cloud providers.
