It's pretty easy to write a unit file for a service and install/use it. A layperson could easily follow a guide with just a few of the most common cases.

As a layperson, no I don't. You will be surprised how many of us couldn't easily follow and understands guides for self-hosting. It took me a while to set it up since the documentation expects me to know everything. Which that is fair because self hosting are technical and requires some knowledge to set it up properly. The challenge is that where I can learn this knowledge in condensed manner? There probably are something out there but they are not centralized enough to help laypeople to run it. Let alone trying to learn how to keep it secured.
These may seem like very easy tasks for you.
If you truly believe that a layperson can "easily follow" a technical guide or that a guide with the most common cases is sufficient to maintain a webserver... then the only thing I can say is that your experience with both laypeople and webservers is worlds apart from mine.
