Yeah, but most of us are not developers of them. It often takes less than an hour to self-host Git/Mastodon/Email/DNS or anything else (most of which have ready to use Docker images anyway) that we tend to centralize, but they come with huge maintenance cost (time, money, backups, security, etc).
I self-host my web sites because that's something I actually want to maintain and have more control over. I will leave the rest to the experts because even us "(technies)" easily mess things up.
