Self-hosted is.

  Assuming you pay someone to maintain it, maybe. Which costs a lot more than a github/bitbucket contract.

  Self-hosted isn't 100% reliable either. Nobody is that good. I've done serious high availability (financial system that would land on the front page of the New York Times the way Github lands on HN), and it wasn't 100%. And the overhead of high availability is incredible. No way would I do self-hosted version control. I have better things to do than babysit servers for commodity services.

  "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." I can learn from my mistakes and improve progressively. If I rely on another instead, I cannot, and I cannot (necessarily and confidently) see to it that they learn from their mistakes and improve. By relying on another (at least an unreliable \ uncommunicative \ uncooperative one), I cannot improve my chances of them not making those same mistakes again, taking me down with them.
