It's not so simple. I've been trying to go the foss self-hosted way, as well as help p2p projects, and I got stuck because I'm behind a cgnat, unable to forward ports, and my shitty isp has no ipv6. I can't afford vpns at the moment, so I got stuck. Besides, all that needed a lot of tech skills most people won't have. This is a serious barrier of entry for a lot of people.
