Citation needed.

An honest test would be to release a game with both options. Might be hard tot count the decentralized players though.

Self hosted servers were some of the best times I had with gaming. Admins kept the server protected from hackers, communities formed, you met regulars.

There was a big backlash in the community when matchmaking became the norm. I actually "boycotted" Call of Duty MW2 when it launched because of the lack of server support.
