Privacy, it is almost impossible in the modern era. But still a bit more under control
Security, it is an illusion, very hard to keep on security
Cost, the hardware, time invested and energy may be higher than standard services
Education, good reason
Because it is cool, yeah it is
Better services, disagree, they are not better, usually clumsy and high maintenance, may work as intended or lack features
There is a simpler reason I like self hosting, I don’t want to be subject to the mercy of the changing of rules of a tool I can’t manage. Possible closure, increasing cost, features by tiers, I really hate subscription models.
