Because it implies that it is the single reason that people don't host their own sites anymore, when in reality people don't because it is generally too difficult, expensive, unreliable and redundant to do so.
Almost nobody wants to host their own social media or messenger site and if you did your friends wouldn't use it too.
Besides, anyone who currently wants to do so can get a cheap VPS for dollars a month.
