 I completely agree with you from a business standpoint. But I think the reasoning that nostr:npub1l6scds4yv7xmcsmhqnhdy9sggm520q09lvts2m5mkvecgr2mmmeqsuj5rc has is also valid from a consumer's perspective. It's very Bitcoin-esque to begin questioning the centralization of all digital aspects of your life, not just money. However, from running an EC2 server myself on AWS, the cost effectiveness, reliability and performance is unmatched. That is not to say that self hosting as an individual for your own private files has no substance. But rather we must be clear on what makes sense and what doesn't for cloud computing.
