I propose a slightly different boundary: not ”to self-host” but ”ability to self-host”. It simply means that you can if you want to, but you can let someone else host it. This is a lot more inclusive, both to those who are less technical and those who are willing to pay for it.

People who don’t care, ”I’ll just pay”, are especially affected, and the ones who should care the most. Why? Because today, businesses are more predatory, preying on future technical dependence of their victims. Even if you don’t care about FOSS, it’s incredibly important to be able to migrate providers. If you are locked in they will exploit that. Some do it so systematically they are not interested in any other kind of business.
