If it's just a blog couldn't you host it on a home internet connection using an ip address?
I doubt ISPs would easily cut someone's home internet off. Is there precedent for that?
1. Some ISPs have provisions separating home use and business use and are priced accordingly.
2. Some ISPs (possibly overlapping 1. or not) explicitly disallow hosting of any service on their Internet plans that they categorize for home use in their Terms of Service.
I don't think hosting a personal blog would count as business use.

Hosting a personal blog is beyond the reach of a lot of people. I feel like a large number of the general public wouldn't really ever have it occur to them as an idea in the first place, and of those that do a surprisingly large number might find it too complex for them.

It requires exactly access to a DNS and an ISP, both of which do have an obligation to enable fair access.
Access to some blog-hosting SaSS is another issue entirely.
I'm content to provide my own stack from the server up. There is no realistic scenario where I can be deplatformed from purchasing hardware sufficient to host a blog.
That's exactly what this discussion is about - you're not free to start a blog. Running any form of web site on the internet requires the support of multiple private companies, which can and do shut sites down at their whims.
