I'm under the impression that you say self-hosted ~= dev-machine-hosted ? If that's the case, i think you're misguided : imho, the internet as it was designed was conceived so that everyone has its little self-hosted thing, with dev-machine just for the purpose of, well, test and dev, with the latter goal of it being self-hosted. Just look how email is technically designed and how it was meant to work, and we use it now, relying mostly on Gmail or Outlook, or worse, using Facebook for emails : we put all our eggs in the same basket.
