I'd like to clarify a little...
With hosting your own, I don't necessarily mean running your own physical server, although that is surely possible. Heck some people run their blog on their raspberry pi.
Netlify is a pretty great service. But if your use case is merely a simple static website, and nothing fancy. Your hosting doesn't need to be either.
Merely pointing out having websites distributed, and not freely at one huge vendor leaves me thinking I'm glad I don't put all my eggs in the same basket.

Sure, you could easily use Github Actions paired with an s3 bucket if all you're doing is CI/CD to push to static hosting. That said, Netlify does offer value adds beyond just production hosting.
