Self hosting has to evolve. It's that simple. All the devices we now seamlessly use in our house were once kits and DIY. I built my own PCs as a teenager, servers in my first job and then software after. My gut says running stuff in your house has to be absolutely dead simple, plug and play with a set of purpose built services that anyone can use from a web or mobile app. Do we have this already? No I think most superior experiences are saas and cloud hosted e.g Apple/Google. They own the hardware and the software stack. The current state of open source + raspberry pi is not appealing to consumers. It might be the right way forward but only if totally packaged together in a box you just plug in. Huge undertaking. Entirely doable. Just requires the right motivation. Oh and websites don't have to be on the public internet, using a tailscale like VPN with shared keys is a good way since they do magic DNS.
