Yes, there are people who want their own host (The IndieWeb or Gemini communities are a clear example). The problem is that convenience is always the priority; there are no incentives.
I go through ebbs-and-flow of self hosting. Having an entire stack, with backups, even some HA when I'm feeling fancy.
Then I get my electricity bill
