I think that’s the problem. Most people’s goal is not to learn a ton about computers and networking, it’s to accomplish some other task. These days rarely is running your own server the easiest way to accomplish most tasks, even if it is an option. It’s usually easier to use someone else’s server, and into running your own is easier than using someone else’s, most people will continue to do use someone else’s.

Since learning about this stuff, I can now stand up any self hosted services that I want with relative ease. That is the advantage to deeper learning in tech On top of this, I also better understand the privacy implications of using other people's services. It helps me operate in our current tech ecosystem far more effectively
