If 5% of people want to run their own servers and 95% use AWS etc. then Moxies point still stands. These blog posts fee like some folks are trying to ride a popularity wave rather than make an actual argument.
What “running your own server” mostly fails at, in my view, is the constant needed maintenance. It doesn’t matter so much if running a server is initially difficult and time consuming. But the constant need to come back to it and fix bugs, install patches, implement security updates, add features yadayadayada … this makes it so perfect to be externalized as a service.

The guy said "nobody wants to run their own servers" but he actually meant "nobody [for all intents and purposes] wants to run their own servers"? Colour me pink!
