I think it's like most home devices, it comes down to ownership. We've gotten into the habit of streaming everything from someone else e.g we're in cloud rental economy, but there's opportunity to restore ownership. Maybe there's a generation that just wants to rent but it wasn't really by choice, it's because ownership cost too much, ownership of homes, servers, storage, etc. We can reduce these costs and we can make ownership of services a thing once more. Sure, you might need someone else to fix things when they break, but it's not like I'm doing my own plumbing or electrical work in my house either.
So it's really this idea of pulling all your services back into your home server. Something you own, something that then becomes private by proxy of that. Something primarily for you and your family, no one else.
