"Anyway if you control the host"
In other words, if the host is sitting on your desk. Chances are good that you have more control over the computer you type your messages on than some server you set up. What makes you think that the rack mount you left in your mom's basement is not being tampered with while you are away?
"your attack vectors are dwindling fast"
Now you need to trust both the host and your client machines, while before you only needed to trust your clients.

I'm not sure how often it happens that a running server is tampered with physically but I don't think that chance is as high as my client system running any malware beyond my control.
