I'd prefer a local or self-hosted product because when the innevitable "incredible journey" blog post comes out, I don't want to have to try and migrate everything to a new service. If I've paid for a product, I can at least keep using it as-is when the company goes under.

The problem is that economic reality doesn't allow for the market to clear for such product.

In other words: you're not willing to pay enough for such a feature to make anyone capable of building it make it for you.

There just aren't enough people like you to support self-hosted $4/month product and you're not willing to spend $2000/month for self-hosted version.

So your options are not using the product at all or using hosted, incredibly cheap, version.

At least in Notion's case, it's a proper enterprise SaaS product with a trial tier, rather than a free consumer product attempting to go enterprise.

Proper enterprise products are hosted on-prem. This is exactly why atlassian is pretty much the only contender in a lot of cases.

I don't know if I agree with that distinction, but an on-prem version would be nice.
