> If a vendor goes under, I can self-host.

It's worth mentioning that this is true -- to an extent. Under ELv2, if the vendor goes under, you can self-host, but you will eventually lose access to any features protected by a license key if/when that license expires, since said vendor can no longer renew said license.

This was one of the main drivers for me writing the FCL [0], which undergoes DOSP [1], even for the protected features.

You also can't pay someone else to host it for you. Nor will the community be able to fork it and support development by paying one or more community members to host it for them.

At least with DOSP, eventually the community will be able to do those things.
