Selfhost what? Git? Git is version control software that you can use entirely locally. The only reason Github/Gitlab/etc exists is because people wanted a central repo to work from.

I don't think this is true. People didn't want to host their own. It's a pretty big task that takes time and attention away from other activities. Especially if you want your repo to face the public. Just keeping it secure can be a part-time job.

Perhaps it is becoming more feasible these days.

I know you can selfhost git repo software, but git on its own just controls versioning locally on your machine. Syncing to an external repo is optional.
