Even if you self-host on own domain using libre software, you have to trust the registrar and certificate authorities. Thinking you can cut out all trusted third parties is naive,too.

No you don’t. The CAs are only necessary if you want random public devices to be able to validate your domain.

And you don’t have to trust the registrar because of what I just said. You don’t need to depend on PKI.
