Yes, you need to run the service somewhere. But anyone can do so (Foss).
With discord my experience is limited but I currently understand it's a service model so you're dependant on a company, which can pull the same sh*t teamspeak did at any time.
Not needing any technical knowledge just means someone else is running it, possibly being able to lock you in. And in the case of discord, you already are locked in and have to accept whatever they think up.
At some point, monetization will take over.
I don't think that people are trying to find an eternal solution. Nothing lasts forever. When Discord turns to shit, something else will take its place. There is no need to worry about that when it offers too many advantages today.
Fair point, but if you need to switch anyway you might want to pick an available option that solves at least the issue being currently faced.
The again, we've moved back a lot to throw away mentality.
