I think it’s not as much as we expect everyone to host theirs themselves, but that it’s possible at all so multiple companies can compete without having to start from scratch.
Sure there will be hobbyists that do it, but already just on Lemmy users already have the freedom of going with lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, SJW, lemm.ee and plenty more.
It’s about spreading the risk and having alternatives to run to.
