What's the biggest reason you self-host? - eviltoast

This is purely for my own personal curiosity, but what’s the main reason you self-host? I say main because I don’t know how to allow multiple answers, if that’s possible at all. For me it’s the last option; because it’s cool. If it’s none of these reasons, absolutely make additional options in the comments.

@ mods, if this in any way breaks any of the rules or just generally detracts from the sub at all, I’ll gladly remove it. Also I didn’t flair it because none of the flairs seem to fit.

    It’s all of those. I’m not voting because I can’t decide what the biggest reason is, and there is no “two or more of the above” options to pick from.

    The only one I don’t think applies to me is “Better Services” as many of the open-source/self-hosted solutions aren’t necessarily better than commercial options. Or they’re missing SSO support in the free/freemium/open-source tier.
