I mean, it's not hard to start a mod site.

I think what's harder is to figure out a commercial model where you can manage to pay for the infrastructure and resource usage and write the associated client software.

The client software is the big one. ModDB has the others but is all but dead save for a few old titles. Vortex really did Nexus a lot of favours; it's turned into a great program, making modding easy for non-techie users.
