As you said, let's not confuse privacy and security. In regards to privacy, I've given up on absolute privacy. However, I still self-host various things such as email, calendar, contacts, password managers and whatnot, but it's less for privacy reasons at this point, a bit for security reasons, but in reality it's mainly for control. I won't lose access to my data if a company shuts down, or if some bad actor decides to maliciously send child pornography to my email and get my whole Apple/Google account cancelled (with no easy support for getting it back) All in all, being able to export (data portability) comes first and foremost, regardless if it's not the most privacy-friendly program. If I can self-host it? All the better.
