Because at some point the enshittification breaks the UX and the rising costs of services become more comparable.
I find that being a question so emblematic of the mindset in the current OSS community and a big cause of why it's hard for it to reach wide audiences.
The point I'm making is that commercial services are becoming increasingly less convenient and having worse UX. Convenience and UX are the only two things that matter for user-level software. Customization doesn't matter, security doesn't matter, control doesn't matter. Convenience and UX are it.
We're getting to the point where having your email hosted at home is becoming more convenient than having to endure a million warnings about how your inbox is 85% full and you should pay Google for storage. It's less convenient to set up and it has worse UX, though, so average users don't even consider it.
We're getting to the point where putting an offline file for whatever you want to watch in a drive is looping back around to being more convenient than going to a website to see which of a hundred streaming services has what you want to watch, then navigate past a bunch of updates and ads to get to it. We're getting to the point where having Google disable random features of your IoT stuff with no warning is worse than having them all plugged in to a local device via Zigbee or Matter. To where storing your files yourself may be on par for cost long term, where it may be easier to stream your old MP3 collection than deal with Spotify and so on.
But the software to do it is still a bridge too far. It doesn't have to be, but it's hard to get it to where it needs to go.
