This is one of the reasons I'm focused on helping self-hosting take off. It reduces the complexity of the software by an order of magnitude, while retaining much of the scalability. One problem is it's still too hard. Hosting your own Gitea/gogs shouldn't be any more difficult or less secure than installing an app on your phone. This is where my work is currently. Another problem is things like repo stars. You can federate, but then every instance has to deal with spam. Not sure what a great solution to this is.
