I agree but I think about it in the reverse way: the hosting is easy, what you get when you use another company's service is the maintenance. Just like every other option where we choose who will maintain something there are trade-offs. You can maintain your own car if you want, but it'll involve things! We all look at our lives and decide which is best for us for each thing. Personally, I tend to self host the things whose maintenance I at least find satisfying, and hopefully enjoy. Otherwise I pay someone (through ads or my own money) to do it for me.
