The backend and the clients are both open source, so I think the idea is that people do run their own servers. There's certainly nothing stopping you. I assume the hosted server is just for convenience and/or demo purposes.

Not very familiar with Discord, but from what I understand it seems everyone runs their own server? Like every game/topic/etc community has their own server?

I think a "server" on discord is more like a "organisation" on slack than an actual server. i.e. it's a tenant partition on a multi-tenant centrally hosted system.
