I think that decentralization is coming in a big way. The myriad of scandals and corruption surrounding the largest tech companies being one of many push forces, and platforms supporting self hosting with little technical expertise and products encouraging the same being pull forces. A small bit of confirmation for this in my mind is the increase in companies switching to a business model that is aware of this. "We will host it for you for a fee, but we fully support self-hosting too." ala Gitlab and Ghost (https://ghost.org/docs/hosting/ https://ghost.org/docs/hosting/)
