Hmm not sure about this. Ive been self-hosting websites since the early 2000s. Have had several sysadmin jobs managing hundreds of servers. With that experience, I still wouldn't be able to protect a website from a serious DDoS without CloudFlare or similar.

This is the history of specialization of everything. You could argue there was a time everyone knew how to grow some of their own crops and look after some farm animals.
